Book Club Discussion Summary

Post a summary of the book club discussion forums that you participate in. This must be a summary of the discussions, not a summary of the book. Review for specific themes and attitudes, attitude changes, AHA statements.

Your summary should be concise - 150-200 words.

The book club discussion forums that I participated varied from simple comments and answers to in depth answers and comments. A major trend I noticed about my posts was that the majority part of my posts revolved around the situation that Henrietta signed a consent form allowing all necessary medical procedure to be done, but wasn’t well aware of what exactly it was that she signed. Another major trend was that my posts revolved around the point of Henrietta’s cells being harvested without her consent and her knowledge. 

These two points by far really took the majority of my posts because I felt that they were the highest/most important violations of this book. 

The other posts just consisted of answering questions in regards to patient awareness of procedures to genetic researching to simply commenting a fellow classmate’s forum. Overall I felt that the book club experience is very different and helpful because not only do I get to put my two cents up, other people are able to do so and in returns we all end up answering questions and posting about what we think and believe in.
