 At the beginning of the second half of the semester I was concerned that we may not address some of the important topics that are included in the genre of nonfiction, after reading The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks I think we should scrap our plans for the rest of the semester and discuss the issues that this book raises.  I am very interested in today's class discussion and what we will focus on.  Will it be medical ethics, religion, the disparity in medical coverage for rich and poor in this country, or the role that race plays in all of the above topics?  I can hardly wait for class...
