The Logic Glitch

Henrietta Lacks's cells, taken without her consent in 1951, became the first 'immortal' human cell line, revolutionizing medicine. Yet, the scientific community saw their actions as standard practice, overlooking the profound ethical breach and its impact on her and her family. This story examines how we often attribute actions to circumstance ('it's just how things are done') rather than considering the individual. It reveals a common psychological bias that allows us to justify our choices, especially when dealing with marginalized people.
