In 1951, cells were taken from Henrietta Lacks and used for many years in research. Henrietta did not give
permission for her cells to be used, the law did not require that. These cells have been used in over 60,000
research projects, but Henrietta's family has not received any compensation for contribution to the research. Do
you think the law should be changed? Should people be compensated for donating their cells to science?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Yes, they should be given compensation.

Explanation:

They should definitely be compensated for their contributions to science! Henrietta did not even give permission for her cells to be used. Technically, researchers are, for lack of a better word, "indebted" to her because her cells were used in almost 60,000 projects. This law should be changed because people should be recognized for assisting innovation.
