Henrietta Lacks cont.

While reading Henrietta lacks  I have thought about different racialized discourses  throughout the medical field.  today in the medical field we have come along way throughout racialized medicine.  What Henrietta lacks faced in her medical treatment was not equal in any way. She was treated like a test subject without any history, background, or family.  The way she was treated shaped consent in our modern medicine. It helped us to point out what was wrong with the way she was treated, and in turn made a better medical field for us. Her cells are still used today which will honor her period in history.
