1. Develop a 1000-1200 word paper, excluding title page and references for either the Boyd Rush or the Henrietta Lack case. Your paper should address the questions for your case:
a. Boyd Rush: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Hardy_%28surgeon%29
i. In addition, what biblical perspectives apply to this case? Why?
b. Henrietta Lacks:
i. Read the article “Henrietta Lacks’ ‘Immortal’ Cells’” at http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/henrietta-lacks-immortal-cells-6421299/?no-ist (Note: you are now leaving LearningStudio and visiting an outside website.)
ii. Watch the video “Book Discussion on The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” (34:32) at http://www.c-span.org/video/?292685-7/book-discussion-immortal-life-henrietta-lacks.
iii. Answer these five questions based on this workshop’s Chapter 2 readings:
1. What ethical principles apply to the case you selected?
2. Given the phenomenal advances made possible by the HeLa cell line, do you think that Henrietta’s individual rights should be subordinated to the greater utilitarian benefit or not?
3. At what point should an individual item (for example, a malignant tissue sample) become public domain?
4. Henrietta Lacks’ descendants expressed concern over the use of her genetic information and their privacy. How valid is this concern?
5. What biblical perspectives apply to this case? Why?
2. Research the Internet, the OCLS, and other sources, including the Bible, to support your position for your paper.
