Bearing in mind that those two tissue samples removed from Henrietta were not removed in an attempt to
treat her cancer, but rather purely for purposes of research, was it wrong for the doctor to remove the
sample tissue in the first place? Was it wrong for Dr. Gey to collect those samples for the purpose of
trying to grow them in controlled conditions? Does the end – i. e., the immeasurable benefit to humankind
resulting from those tissue samples – justify the means – i. e., removing tissue from a person without their
consent or knowledge?
