John Moore V. Regents of the University of California

In my opinion, John Moore should be the one to win the case. There are many reasons as to why I choose Moore over Dr. Golde. First of all, Dr. Golde has a very dishonest behavior. After Moore underwent surgery Golde falsely told him that he needed follow up treatment and further tests. Moore had to traveled to the UCLA Medical Center from his home in Seattle because he had been told that the procedures were to be performed only there and only under Golde direction. Every time Moore came for the checkup Golde withdrew additional sample of blood, bone marrow aspirate, and other tissue. That was not in the contract, the contract is only about removing

    Pervading the story of Henrietta Lacks and her “immortal cells” was the idea that doctors should be required to obtain informed consent from their patients before conducting any extensive research that could affect the patient. Aside from the HeLa case itself, another situation mentioned in the book was Mo versus Golde, a case where a doctor- David Golde- patented and profited off of the cells of one of his patients- John Moore.
