This corruption ruins the quality of care and can harm many individuals who are sick or need urgent help. Our world would be healthy. https://nowcomment.com/documents/342984?scroll_to=3027555 https://nowcomment.com/documents/342984?scroll_to=3027555 Wed, 08 Mar 2023 23:08:42 -0500 Who do you think could help bring about a solution or partial solution to this problem? https://nowcomment.com/documents/342976?scroll_to=3027547 https://nowcomment.com/documents/342976?scroll_to=3027547 Wed, 08 Mar 2023 15:05:05 -0500 This is a good solution to promote honesty and improve the healthcare system. https://nowcomment.com/documents/342984?scroll_to=3027534 https://nowcomment.com/documents/342984?scroll_to=3027534 Wed, 08 Mar 2023 23:08:42 -0500 Appeals to logic because these are horrible things to be doing. Everyone knows these are illegal which just shows the intensity of the problem. https://nowcomment.com/documents/342984?scroll_to=3027532 https://nowcomment.com/documents/342984?scroll_to=3027532 Wed, 08 Mar 2023 23:08:42 -0500 Appeals to the emotions because the health care being received and the healthcare allowed by these administrators is horrible for so many people in the world. https://nowcomment.com/documents/342984?scroll_to=3027529 https://nowcomment.com/documents/342984?scroll_to=3027529 Wed, 08 Mar 2023 23:08:42 -0500 This allows for people to see the issues and be accountable. The more they are aware of the issues and are responsible, the better it will get. https://nowcomment.com/documents/342310?scroll_to=3023129 https://nowcomment.com/documents/342310?scroll_to=3023129 Sun, 05 Mar 2023 11:07:21 -0500 This creates discrimination in the healthcare system. Everyone should be able to afford healthcare and health insurance. https://nowcomment.com/documents/342310?scroll_to=3023128 https://nowcomment.com/documents/342310?scroll_to=3023128 Sun, 05 Mar 2023 11:04:00 -0500 This shows the lack of quality people are receiving.

It not only effects the medical society but also the society as a whole. https://nowcomment.com/documents/340916?scroll_to=3011194 https://nowcomment.com/documents/340916?scroll_to=3011194 Fri, 03 Mar 2023 12:29:31 -0500 The author makes is clear that this is a problem because without these specialized doctors, people can't get the care they need https://nowcomment.com/documents/340916?scroll_to=3011176 https://nowcomment.com/documents/340916?scroll_to=3011176 Fri, 03 Mar 2023 12:29:31 -0500 Chapter 13 summary https://nowcomment.com/documents/340563?scroll_to=3008949 https://nowcomment.com/documents/340563?scroll_to=3008949 This chapter describes the process of mass producing the HeLa cells. It was able to identify and cure many diseases we probably wouldn't have been able to do otherwise. At first the cells were shipped only to those scientists who really needed it but then they became available to scientists all over the world. They were able to receive cells the day after they were ordered for about fifty dollars. These cells were very quickly used for all kinds of research and were produced in all kinds of ways. Thu, 16 Feb 2023 13:35:58 -0500 The author uses specific facts https://nowcomment.com/documents/340563?scroll_to=3008942 https://nowcomment.com/documents/340563?scroll_to=3008942 Here, the process of packaging and mailing these cells very specifically. It shows the very industrial process and how there is no real thought or care behind this. It is all business and no care for the cells or the importance of them. Thu, 16 Feb 2023 13:35:58 -0500 The author uses history. https://nowcomment.com/documents/340563?scroll_to=3008939 https://nowcomment.com/documents/340563?scroll_to=3008939 It is important to understand the effect of these cells. They helped cure and be able to identify so many diseases. If we don't understand this we do not understand the arguments of ethics in this case, nor do we understand why they are important. Polio especially at the time was spreading so these cells were immediately used to try to cure this horrible disease. Thu, 16 Feb 2023 13:35:58 -0500 Here, the author uses perspective. https://nowcomment.com/documents/340563?scroll_to=3008927 https://nowcomment.com/documents/340563?scroll_to=3008927 After talking about the small scale of the cells, this paragraph talks of the large scale industrialization of them. They went from being studied by one scientist to being put in a huge factory and being mass produced. this provides an insight into the exploitation of these cells and how quickly, and largely they were produced for sale. Thu, 16 Feb 2023 13:35:58 -0500 The repetition of the importance of her cells is big here. Throughout the essay it is talked about all the time to emphasize how the medical community benefitted from them. https://nowcomment.com/documents/339561?scroll_to=3004108 https://nowcomment.com/documents/339561?scroll_to=3004108 Thu, 16 Feb 2023 13:35:58 -0500 The author uses an analogy here showing that the cells that have grown since they were received from her are now so big that there is no comparison to the number of cells she had in her body and the amount that have grown since then. https://nowcomment.com/documents/339561?scroll_to=3004103 https://nowcomment.com/documents/339561?scroll_to=3004103 Thu, 16 Feb 2023 13:35:58 -0500 The word choice the author uses here allows the reader to understand how Henrietta talked instead of changing it for the benefit of the writing. It allows a better understanding of her as a person. https://nowcomment.com/documents/339561?scroll_to=3004082 https://nowcomment.com/documents/339561?scroll_to=3004082 Thu, 16 Feb 2023 13:35:58 -0500
