The legal action before the court is a case that describes conflict with the People v. Smith concerning the laws that expunge a young offender’s juvenile criminal record. The defendant was charged with unlawful entry onto property and with being a repeat offender of offenses that are in violation and punishable by law. It was determined by the court that Smith is a habitual offender and he received a sentence of imprisonment. Point in fact is the defendant made a guilty plea to charges of breaking and entering and being a repeat offender by his own admission. Smith’s attorney stated the ruling was put in place to protect the people living in society and to be an example in order to discourage others from perpetrating the same kind of illegal or dishonest behavior.
Scientific research has undergone a transformation from knowing little about cells to experimenting on the cells and advance in medicine. The fascination to discover the unknown has triggered scientists to unconsciously over-step ethical boundaries. In The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, Rebecca Skloot (2010) elaborates on the legal unethical practices in 1951 in the United States and the standard medical practices during the Jim Crow era. The policies and regulations have structurally created disparities among the African American population leading to skepticism towards the healthcare system.
