We've had many requests for this topic over the years and Dr. Aaron finally took charge of it. We'll explore the crossroads of medical history and medical ethics as it applies to the case of Henrietta Lacks, an African-American woman who's peculiar tumor cells lived on to be the source of numerous medical discoveries--albeit without her permission.Referenceshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henrietta_Lacks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumoencephalography After-effects of pneumoencephalography: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC494289/pdf/jnnpsyc00199-0152.pdf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Dandy Wayback Machine Baltimore Paper story: https://web.archive.org/web/20040814160109/http://www.citypaper.com/news/story.asp?id=3426 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore_vRegentsof_the_University_of_CaliforniaFor further reading, link to Rebecca Skloot's book: https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-immortal-life-of-henrietta-lacks-rebecca-skloot/586117?ean=9781400052189 ----- Patreon Page (support the show) -----Submit a Question for Non-Medical Advice Segment (website form with instructions)-----Podcast Linktree (social media links / reviews / ratings)-----

Cześć! W tym odcinku bierzemy na tapet dwa reportaże, które odsłaniają przed nami mroczne oblicze medycyny. Paya sięgnęła po książkę Rebeki Skloot, która opisuje życie Henrietty Lacks — kobiety, której nieśmiertelne komórki zrewolucjonizowały naukę, ale której tożsamość i historia zostały potraktowane przedmiotowo i bez poszanowania jej prywatności. Rozmawiamy więc o etyce w medycynie, o dehumanizacji pacjentów, a także trochę o tłumaczeniu książek non-fiction. Z kolei Ela wybrała grubą książkę jednego ze swoich ulubionych reporterów. To Patrick Radden Keefe, który napisał „Imperium bólu. Baronowie przemysłu farmaceutycznego”. Ten reportaż to historia rodziny Sacklerów, którzy wprowadzili na rynek silnie uzależniający lek, przyczyniając się tym samym do epidemii opioidowej w Stanach Zjednoczonych. Ela opowiada o wrażeniach, jakie wywarła na niej praca autora, o emocjach, które towarzyszyły lekturze, i o nieco baśniowym wymiarze tej prawdziwej historii. Pojawi się też gościnnie Edgar Allan Poe! Zapraszany do słuchania!   Książki, o których mówimy w podkaście: Rebecca Skloot, „Nieśmiertelne życie Henrietty Lacks”, tłum. Julianna Kowal, Znak;  Patrick Radden Keefe, „Imperium bólu. Baronowie przemysłu farmaceutycznego”, tłum. Jan Dzierzgowski, Czarne.  Mamy Patronite!

Culture, politics, medical practices, and scientific understandings of the female body all influence our knowledge of women's health. In today's episode, I'm doing something different and talking about how the medical field is failing women in the United States. The reality of women's health in this country leaves much to be desired, from exclusion from biomedical research to gaslighting by providers and everything in between. It's a controversial topic, and we need to increase awareness because definite improvements need to be made. I'm discussing the social factors that influence the state of women's health, the silence and stigma surrounding menstruation and menopause, the far-reaching impact of racism on health outcomes, and more. This is my plea for us to do more to promote women's health. Enjoy the episode.   Highlights The historical exclusion and marginalization of women and the impact it's had on women's health Denial of bodily autonomy and the experience of Henrietta Lacks  The lack of biomedical research on women and ongoing challenges in collecting research data Why the Office of Research on Women's Health was established The current state of women's health in the US Differences in women's health outcomes Limited medical attention given to menstruation and menopause despite the social significance Racial disparities and leading causes of maternal mortality Cervical cancer and the HPV vaccine Poor treatment of women with pelvic pain and the misdiagnosis of endometriosis The high rates of violence against women in the US Opportunities to improve women's experiences in the medical system and health outcomes The need to promote equity in women's health and research   Mentioned in this episode Rebecca Skloot's Book | The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks https://www.amazon.com/Immortal-Life-Henrietta-Lacks/dp/1400052181   This episode is sponsored by Femmenessence It's a rare occurrence to find a non-prescription supplement that becomes a go-to for hormone health and Femmenessence is just that.

As a well renowned fitness expert, John Lewis has spent over 2 decades in the health and fitness industry and played Division I College basketball. John is highly passionate about not only his own health and fitness, but that of others as well. Today, John has taken his passion for health and is now directing his first feature length documentary focused on food and social justice. John has teamed up with the maker of the award winning “What The Health” to create their joint venture “They're Trying To Kill US”. The film follows co-director John Lewis from his beginnings as an adopted child from a crack-addicted birth mother, growing up as an overweight kid in the violence of Ferguson, Missouri, to becoming a prominent health and wellness advocate promoting compassion.Audiences journey with John as he crosses the country seeking answers to why Americans of Colour suffer from disproportionately higher rates of chronic disease than their European American counterparts, while examining the intersections of food, disease, race, poverty, institutional racism and government corruption. Through interviews with cultural influencers, doctors, researchers, politicians, attorneys, professional athletes, activists and experts in the field of food justice, John begins to unravel a story of collusion that has kept millions of US Americans sick, while the industries responsible make billions of dollars.Today, Nicolette engages in a conversation with John Lewis, delving into his remarkable journey from playing basketball to finding a new path towards wellness and purpose. The journey commenced in 2004 when the passing of a close friend compelled him to seek solutions for his own health issues, including IBS. By adopting a plant-based diet, he experienced a remarkable transformation within a mere two weeks, shedding inflammation and gaining newfound energy. However, the pivotal moment arrived when his mother was diagnosed with colon cancer, sparking his research into the link between lifestyle choices and diseases such as hypertension and heart disease. Through personal experiences and learning from the mistakes of others, he uncovered the ancient roots of veganism in Jainism, realizing that indigenous cultures had long embraced plant-based lifestyles. Along his path, he encountered pre-packaged vegan foods, which prompted him to transition towards whole foods, expanding his palate and understanding of diverse culinary traditions. Embracing his role as a catalyst for change, he founded the Badass Vegan movement, advocating for the planet, social justice, and personal well-being.With a focus on providing answers and promoting inclusivity, John tackles various topics, ranging from the disproportionate impact of food-related issues on Black communities to the manipulative tactics employed by insurance and fast-food companies. Through his film, "They're Trying to Kill Us," and his book, "Badass Vegan," his aim is to empower individuals to fuel their bodies, challenge the system, and live authentically. Join us on this transformative journey as we explore the history of veganism and discover how embracing a plant-based lifestyle can foster healing for ourselves and the world we inhabit. Remember, your "why" will serve as your guiding force on this path of transformation.

And they did so on the same campus—and at the very same time—that state officials were conducting the infamous Tuskegee syphilis studies."This quote highlights the irony and injustice of how Henrietta Lacks' cells were used to advance medicine while Black people were being treated unjustly in the medical field.2 "No one had ever asked the Lackses for their consent, and now researchers didn't have to. For scientific purposes, cell lines were considered commodities, and could be bought and sold like factory-made products."This quote exposes the unethical practices of the medical community during Henrietta's time and raises questions about consent and ownership in medical research.3 "If our mother is so important to science, why can't we get health insurance?"This quote shows the personal impact that Henrietta's contribution to science had on her family and raises...

The Immortal Life Of Henrietta LacksThe Immortal Life Of Henrietta Lacks Full Chapter Brief This is a story about HeLa, the immortal cells, and Henrietta Lacks, who was the owner of these cells. This story recounts the history of progress in human medicine, the research and development of cancer vaccines, cloning technology and gene mapping. It raises the discussion on medical ethics, the ownership of body tissues, the right to in-formed consent, and cultural beliefs. How did HeLa cells come into being? Why are these cells immortal? What's the significance of the birth of HeLa? The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks will tell you the details of this story. Overview | Chapter 1Hi, welcome to Bookey. Today we will unlock the book The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. Immortality is a topic that conjures up images of beauty and imagination, which has been talked about since ancient times. For example, it's said in the Bible, “I am the Resurrection and the Life, saith the Lord: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.” Over the past thousand years, instances of people who become immortal from believing in religion have never been found, but this hasn't affected people's pursuit of immortality. Therefore, in modern society, many people hope to achieve immortality by turning to advanced science and technology. In 1967, scientists were commissioned to freeze the body of an American physicist, James Bedford, using cryogenic technology. In July 2015, the body of Zhan Wenlian, a common voluntary worker in Shandong, China, underwent the same treatment. By doing these, scientists hope to continue studying the resurrection of the human body, so that when the technology become available in the near future, they could possibly thaw and resurrect these bodies. Is the belief in immortality a scientific fantasy, or a reality? The book The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks will tell you the answer to this question. This book not only tells the story of the immortal cells, HeLa, and the owner Henrietta Lacks, but also shows the history of human medical progress. It presents people's discussions on medical ethics, the ownership of bodily tissues, and the right to informed consent, over the last century. The author of the book is Rebecca Skloot, a well-known scientific writer in the United States. She has been curious about Henrietta and her cells since she was 16 years old, and began studying and investigating the story of HeLa many years later. After 10 years of exploration, the author not only discovered the secret of HeLa's immortality and the story behind the cells, but also learned about the moral and ethical challenges that scientists faced when using HeLa cells in their research. The author finally finished this 320,000-word documentary work of literature and published it. She wanted to help people understand “the immortal life of Henrietta Lacks”, and hoped to draw their attention to the value of life, individual dignity, and medical ethics. Next, I will tell you the story of HeLa in three parts: Part One: The Previous and Present Life of HeLa Part Two: HeLa's Great Contributions Part Three: Problems Caused by HeLa

No matter what your take on the events that surround the whole covid situation, the one thing that everyone can agree on is that the landscape has drastically changed. For months we were forced into isolation with nothing more than a digital outreach to everyone around us. To say that it has altered a major component of our psyche would be a gross understatement. This week on The Malliard Report Jim welcomes back a fan favorite and show regular to discuss the new wave of upcoming “sociopaths.” This week features the one and only Rebecca Housel. “Rebecca Housel, Ph.D., known as The Pop Culture Professor, is an international best-selling author and editor in nine languages and 100 countries.

In celebration of Black History Month, we're sharing the extraordinary story of Henrietta Lacks, a 31 year-old wife and mother of five children. Though she died of cervical cancer in 1951, Henrietta held the key to unlocking tens of thousands of medical and scientific advancements. Unbeknowst to Henrietta and her family at the time, cells from her tumor were cultured, and it was discovered that the cells reproduced quickly and thrived outside of her body - a breakthrough that would change modern medicine.In the decades since her death, Henrietta's 'immortal' cell line, referred to as HeLa, continues to be a vital tool and biomedical research. Researchers from 142 countries have authored more than 110,000 research publications and active 11,000 patents involving HeLa cells. Additionally, HeLa cells have been used in three - yes, THREE - Nobel Prize-winning discoveries. As inspiring as Henrietta's story seems, it has also raised questions about informed consent and medical racism.This week, we're honored to bring you the story of the Mother of Modern Medicine, Henrietta Lacks.Interested in learning more about Henrietta Lacks?Watch "Henrietta Lacks: Preserving Her Legacy," a TED Talk by Henrietta's grandchildren, David Lacks Jr. and Veronica Robinson.Read the New York Times Best-Seller "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks," by Rebecca SklootWatch "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks," a film starring and produced by Oprah Winfrey on HBO MaxStay Risky.

Co-host Leigh M. Johnson is in the hot seat for this episode's discussion of digital afterlives. If we consider the "digital," information-based self to be distinguishable from the meatspace self, we should ask: how long can the Digital Me live on after my meatspace body dies? Technology already enables us to "re-animate" archives of personal information in many ways, and some futurists believe that we may, someday, be able to upload our consciousnesses to the cloud. Who owns that information? What are they currently allowed (or not allowed) to do with it? What would happen if we insisted that all of our information being "deleted" after we physically die?Whether or not you believe in a Heaven or Hell, all of us need to think more seriously about our digital afterlives. Rick, Charles, and Leigh work through some of that thinking-- and much more-- at the hotel bar!Check out the links below to learn more about thinkers and ideas referenced in this episode: Maggi Saven-Baden and Victoria Mason-Robbie, Eds., Digital Afterlife: Death Matters in a Digital Age (2020)  Rebecca Skloot, The Immoral Life of Henrietta Lacks (2011) origin of the term "meatspace" A visualization of the length of Terms of Service for 14 popular apps Tupac hologram performs with Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre at Coachella 2012 "Facebook told to grant grieving mother access to daughter's account" (The Guardian, 2011) Black Mirror episode "Smithereens" (on IMDB, or watch the episode on Netflix) Marshall McLuhan, The Medium is the Message (2001) "Everything You Need to Know About Twitter Direct Messages" (Livewire, 2020) What is data anonymization?

Direct-to-consumer genetic testing has been in the news this week with the recent IPO of 23andMe. Thus, we are revisiting our forum from September 2017 on biobanking, genetics, and the competing interests of individuals, businesses, and society in the collection and use of genetic samples. ------- Are we now approaching a time when we could all live, at least in freezers, forever? Modern collection and storage of biological samples make possible a kind of "immortality" for anyone who has ever had a saliva sample frozen for genealogical testing or a blood sample stored in medical collections. New technologies, like CRISPR for gene editing, expand possible future uses of biological materials stored around the world. The story of Henrietta Lacks, popularized in a book by Rebecca Skloot and an HBO special starring Oprah Winfrey, illustrates the ways that a single person's cells and tissues can take on lives of their own as research material. In 1953, just before her death, Lacks's cancer cells yielded the oldest and most common human cell line still used in research. There has been significant public interest in her remarkable story, but the "immortality" of people like Henrietta Lacks raises pressing questions for all of us. Who owns and controls bodily materials extracted from research subjects and patients? Who can profit from the cells and genes that make us who we are? How do we weigh the value of personal privacy and an individual's sense of self against the potential for medical progress? How do imbalances of wealth and power influence questions of consent, exploitation, and identity for people who provide biological materials? These questions framed a public forum organized by the Consortium and hosted by the American Philosophical Society on September 28, 2017. Find this presentation and further resources on the Consortium's website at: www.chstm.org/video/51

Join me as I dive into the problem with medical racism by reviewing the book "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" by Rebecca Skloot. This episode will cover the history of medical racism in America and Henrietta's story. Henrietta's cells were stolen and then made into a billion-dollar industry without her consent or her family's knowledge. Her story highlights the importance of telling the truth about racism in America and the lengths this country and the people in it will go to uphold white supremacy, perpetuate harm, and fail to be held accountable. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/problemwithauthoritypod/support
