The Tuskegee Syphilis experiment suggests that African Americans were abused and not treated right when it came to medicine. An example of this is on Paragraph 1 lines 6-7 of the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) article covering this, when it states, "...201 who did not have the disease. Participants’ informed consent was not collected." This shows that not only did the experiment unfairly treat those without the disease, they didn't even get the informed consent of those involved, which is legally wrong.

Total equality is possible. However, it won't be handed easily to the people that want the same rights, these people would need to fight for those rights to be handed to them. In the speech "I have a dream", my Martin Luther King Jr., it states in paragraph 6, "is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood". Additionally, this shows that it can be possible to achieve true equality, if everyone works together to achieve the goal of equality, it may take a long time, but true equality can be achieve, but its something urgent that needs to be fought for.

Due to the text Henrietta Lacks we believe some responsibilities we have as a society is to treat everyone as an equal. According to the text on page 15 Chapter 1 lines 4-5 "The public wards at Hopkins were filled with patients most of them Black most of them black and unable to pay their medical bills". Also at the end of this paragraph lines 8-9, it stated that "when black people showed up at white only doctors they would send them away even if they were to die on the parking lot".  This explains our responsibility to treat everyone as an equal since it shows how inequality led to peoples death and the evidence showed injustice towards POC.

Our groups thoughts on this matter are that the African Americans have been mistreated during the history of medicine. We have formulated this conclusion from the evidence we have been given. The evidence we speak of is found in paragraph eleven of the text "UNWANTED STERILIZATION AND EUGENICS PROGRAMS IN THE UNITED STATES", which states ,"Mississippi appendectomies was another name for unnecessary hysterectomies performed at teaching hospitals in the South on women of color as practice for medical students. This NBC news article discusses North Carolina’s eugenics program, including stories from victims of forced sterilization like Elaine Riddick. A third of the sterilizations were done on girls under 18, even as young as 9." This quite evidently emphasizes the idea that we have concluded which was that African american females were being misled in the medical science industry.

The Tuskegee Syphilis experiment was an experiment was was unfairly towards the group of African-Americas, they weren't treated as people, more like subjects. This further shows the reason that they were not treated equally or seen as people, more like tests subjects. In the article, "Tuskegee Study - Timeline", it states in paragraph 2, "By 1943, penicillin was the treatment of choice for syphilis and becoming widely available, but the participants in the study were not offered treatment.". Additionally this shows, that even after penicillin became a treatment for Syphilis, the test subjects that were African-Americans, weren't offered the treatment, the information further shows that the African-Americans were seen as test subjects and not as normal people. Overall, they were seen as a test subject that didn't had any value.

African Americans were mistreated so badly when it came to medicine, that they were viewed as practice subjects.  On pbs.org, paragraph 9 lines 4-5, it states, "teaching hospitals in the South on women of color as practice for medical students."  This shows that African Americans were viewed as tools or practice subjects for med students to learn, demonstrating how badly African Americans were mistreated when it came to this field.

Due to the article we believe that doctors should not be able to take YOUR genes and conduct their own research without your consent. For example in paragraph 3 "Crump, who began representing Lacks' family's estate this year, said Thermo Fisher Scientific, a multi-billion-dollar pharmaceutical corporation, has knowingly sold products containing Lacks cell line in what amounts to "medical racism." This supports our claim due to the fact that it shows how companies using the HeLa cells made a lot of money. Yet, Henrietta didn't give consent to the companies which is injustice to her family and herself as well.

After a long and thoughtful discussion, our group has come to the realization that the responsibilities that we have to society is to be resepctful towards one another and treat everyone equal. The resonsibilities that society has to us is that everyone should be treated equally in a world where no one is better than another have a good time with no chaos. For example in MLK's speech "I Have A Dream", he said “...the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.” This evidence supports our claim because it shows that people wanted equality that they were demanding and when society gives equality to them, they will give respect back and have peace amongst each other.

It is our firm belief as a group that genetic material discarded or not should not be used without your consent. The textual evidence that we gathered from
Henrietta Lacks' cells led to medical breakthroughs despite her lack of consent. Now her family is suing a pharmaceutical company explaines how Lacks' family was mistreated when her cells were taken, "Lacks' cells have become the cornerstone of modern medicine and enabled many pharmaceutical companies to profit, but her family has seen no financial benefit, Crump said." This evidence clearly states the thoguhtful claim by emphasising how the african american family was mistreated and how they did not make any profit from HeLa's cells.

The Mississippi Appendectomies suggests that African-Americans were being treated unfairly, and the medical field specifically targeted African-Americans. In the article "Unwanted Sterilization and Eugenics programs in the United States", it states in paragraph 7, "unnecessary hysterectomies performed at teaching hospitals in the South on women of color as practice for medical students.". Additionally, this shows that African-Americans were being used as test subjects and were being used and were the main group of people that would have been targeted in certain parts of the United States.

Society and people have the responsibility of being fair and just to all people-including African Americans. This includes giving everyone the option of informed consent and information on everything that can affect the person. An example of the opposite of this is on paragraph 4 of page 31 of the book, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, where it states, "Henrietta printed her name in the blank space.  A witness with illegible handwriting signed a line at the bottom of the form, and Henrietta signed another."  This shows that people mistreat African Americans by not informing them and allowing them to consent on things they don't have knowledge of.  Society and people should not do this and not condone it.

Total equality is possible but it will always be difficult to achieve. On page 18 of chapter 2 of Henrietta Lacks it says "ancestors have worked as slaves". Due to this there will always be people higher than other or in more control. In society there will always be people higher than others and that is just the way our society works. If every person were to be equal then no one will listen to other. Like the president is higher than us and if we were to be equal then no one will listen to him because he is like every other person.

Due to a variety of texts we have come to the agreement, that we as a society need to treat everyone equally and use peace instead of violence in a real life situation, and the responsibility of society is to protect or rights and treat us equally. As it mentions in "An Eulogy for Martin Luther King Jr." by Robert F Kennedy, it states in line 30, "...What we need in the United States is not violence or lawlessness but love and wisdom, and compassion toward one another" Additionally, this proves that having compassion towards one another and treat everyone equally, we, as a society, can make a positive impact in the world.

Doctors should not be able to take your discarded genetic materials for experiments and studies without your consent. A usatoday.com article about the HeLa cell line and how it was a human right violation states on paragraph 8, "She died later that year, and her family was unaware her cells had been taken and used for research until decades later. " This shows the researchers taking her cells without her consent. The scientists also received a large sum of money and the Lacks family couldn't even afford an health insurance. Her family was left in the dust and she ended up dying to cancer that same year.

The Tuskegee experiment suggests that the African Americans were taken advantage of. "Researchers told the men they were being treated for “bad blood,”....  In exchange for taking part in the study, the men received free medical exams, free meals, and burial insurance."- Paragraph 2 CDC. This proves the point that the African Americans didn't know about this vocabulary and so they thought it was good and that is what the doctors wanted them to think but that wasn't the truth. At the end they where being injected with the diseases and were being killed instead of being treated but they didn't know.

With the time presented our group has accepted that total human equality is impossible. out group has formulated this opinion with evidence from three times in history. the first being the Gettysburg address in 1863 when we fought for the freedom of slaves and people of color to be free. the second pice of e is when martin luther king spoke in 1963 when we were still fighting for equality. Even today we still must fight for equality. with all this time given to humanity we still cant find equality keeping in mind these are just exsamples from the US history. So with this in mind i will say that total equality is impossable.

Doctors shouldn't be able to use genetic discarded genetic to conduct research without our consent, because they are using parts of our body to do experiments, and in some cases the genetic discarded or tissue can be very important for the human body, so they shouldn't be able to take our discarded tissue. As it mentions on the news "USAtoday" it states, in paragraph 8 "The procedure left the Lacks infertile, Crump said. She died a year later, and her family was unaware her cells had been taken and used for research until a decade" Additionally, this proves that doctors shouldn't be able to use discarded genetic or tissues because it can mean a lot to other people or even the tissue or genetic that belongs to the person, and it can show that they are just using the person as a test subject without their consent with shows an unethical act in the medical field.

Total equality is possible, however, human nature almost always assures that certain groups of people would dominate others.  Examples of this is on paragraphs 4 lines 9 and 10 of MLK's speech. One example of this is when it states, "...America has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned."  This demonstrates that while at first America promised equality and freedom for people, they have not followed through with their promise. Another example is on paragraph 5 lines 1-3, when it reads, "But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation." This also shows that there is no more justice(or equality) anymore, and it has to be fought for, which shows how racism is apparent due to human nature.

After intense research our group has drawn the conclusion that the Tuskegee syphilis experiment suggests African-Americans have been mistreated during the history of medicine. we know the experiments were done on black people exclusively and latter in the second paragraph of the Tuskegee timeline we can find the quote "but the participants in the study were not offered treatment.", so with this information we know that the people of color had syphilis and the doctors had a cure and still did not give it to them.

The Mississippi Appendectomies suggest that African American were being tested on without their knowledge or consent. For example in paragraph 4, it states that 20,000 men and women were sterilizationed. This shows that African Americans were treated for this and they  most likely they weren't given consent. Another piece of evidence shows how they were tricking African American people to sign things that they didn't even know about. For example in paragraph 16 it states, "Mary Alice and Minnie Relf, poor African American sisters from Alabama, were sterilized at the ages of 14 and 12. Their mother, who was illiterate, had signed an “X” on a piece of paper, she believed gave permission for her daughters, who were both mentally disabled, to receive birth control shots. In 1974, the Southern Poverty Law Center filed a lawsuit on behalf of the Relf sisters, revealing that 100,000 to 150,000 poor people were being sterilized each year under federally-funded programs." This shows how African Americans were being tricked and how it could have disastrous consequences.
