In his blog, Chuck talks about the story of Henrietta Lacks and how author Rebecca Skloot writes about it in her book, “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks”. He gives enough detail about the Henrietta Lacks story so the readers have an idea of what’s going on. He does a good job early on by pointing out how he feels about the issue of the Henrietta Lack’s story being told. He believes that the story should be told to all, and that it’s a shame not too many people acutely do know the story of Henrietta Lacks. It is important for our society to know how important Henrietta’s cells are to our world. Without them we wouldn’t have a Polio vaccine, have as much knowledge about cancer as we do, and other things in the medical field. Chuck also does a good job on stating how he feels that Henrietta Lacks family should get awareness and compensation for her cells being so successful. He also makes some good points when discussing challenges the author, Rebecca Skloot will counter when the book.
In his blog of his points and opinions made perfect sense to me and were talked about in a clear and convincing manner. I agree one hundred percent with Chuck when he says that this story must be told and more people have to know about it. I also feel agree strongly when Chuck talks about how people should know how the doctors didn’t have consent from Henrietta lacks. The final great point Chuck makes, that I agree with is when he says how if it wasn’t for Henrietta’s cell then we could be set back in the medical world today.
Overall Chuck did a very good job on this blog, he had a lot of good points that were very convincing.
