Question

Ruth Faden said there are two issues raised in Henrietta Lacks' case. Explain what Ruth meant when she said issue one is a "question of consent" and issue two is "if anything is morally or legally due to a person if something of commercial value is developed."

Answer 1

The two issues raised in Henrietta Lacks' case are the lack of consent and the moral and legal rights to compensation for the development of commercial value.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ruth Faden refers to two issues raised in Henrietta Lacks' case. Issue one is a "question of consent", which means that Lacks' tissues were taken without her knowledge or permission, raising ethical concerns about the lack of informed consent at the time.

Issue two is whether "anything is morally or legally due to a person if something of commercial value is developed". This concerns the moral and legal rights of individuals if their biological materials are used to develop commercial products without their consent, and if they should be compensated.
