There is a longstanding conundrum in biological research and biotechnology: just because we
CAN do something, is it right to do it? In other words, how do we determine whether a technique
is moral? In the video clip about Henrietta Lacks, we can see this illustrated in that one woman's
cells were taken without her knowledge or permission and used for technological and medical
purposes. Was this right? Why or why not? What other instances of potential moral conflict are
there regarding biotechnology?
