Relational ethics places emphasis on the context of relationships in which they affect moral choices/actions. This is different from Kohlberg’s ethic of justice, which places importance decisions based on individuality (Burkhardt, Nathaniel, & Walton, 2013, pgs.110-111). In relational ethics, emotions expressed in the interactions between those involved are important because it allows for connections to be made among the participants (Pergert & Lützén, 2002, p.25; Pollard, 2015, p.364). The relationship is mutual, the participants are interdependent; they must interact with each other and be present in the moment of interaction. The main themes of relational ethics are engaged interaction, mutual respect, embodiment, uncertainty, vulnerability, freedom, choice and significance of the environment (Austin, 2006, p.136; Pollard, 2015, p.364; Wright & Brajtman, 2011, pgs.23-25). The four components that will be incorporated in this paper are engagement, mutual respect, embodiment, and environment. Engagement means one remains true to self while still being aware of others’ needs; sharing the moment together. Mutual respect is respecting others while also still keeping one’s own identity; this is how people become connected to each other. Embodiment is about bringing the mind and body together into one entity, instead of either or, it is both. Environment is not external; the participants are all a part of it, helping to shape situations. I will talk about the second

Henrietta Lacks, a woman that died of cervical cancer in 1951, single handedly changed the field of science. Not long before she passed away, a doctor took a sample of her cancer cells, the cells from her cervix were later on named HeLa cells, and these cells helped pave the way to numerous experiments and research all over the world. Even though HeLa brought along many achievements with its discovery, it also brought disappointments to some researchers, and pain for her family. You see, she nor her family consented to her cells being sampled, or the amounts of experiments and research that occurred after. Her family was never aware that such actions even took place.

The concept of the ethic code in itself is to provide a model or standard of conduct for individuals in their day to day lives, to know what is expected or rather what is not expected of individuals in regards to how they are to conduct themselves. Albeit, the hope is that this might be a paradigm to prevent inadvertently acting or behaving in an immoral manner (APA, 2010).
