Was John Gey ethical?
No, I don't believe it was ethical of John Gey to take Henrietta's cells without permission. Henrietta was given several forms but didn't really know what she was signing because she never had the education to know exactly what was going on. The doctors had taken advantage of Henrietta's cells without her permission and I think it should be illegal to commit such an action. John Gey merely took the cells to help his own research on his project rather than to help Henrietta on getting rid of cancer. Even though it wasn't ethical, John Geys research for the cells did help improve science by giving a new knowledge of disease and medicine to help save other peoples lives. But through the research of the cells ended up invading the Lacks families privacy and would forever stay that way. John Gey wasn't ethical for taking Henrietta's cells without consents but it did give a new revolution in the world or medicine for more people.
