Hela Cells? How Important Are These Cells?

[KALIURANG]; On Saturday, October 19th, 2024, the Undergraduate Study Program in Law, Faculty of Law, Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII) carried out International Guest Lecture activities, which took place in the Audiovisual Room on the 4th floor, Faculty of Law Building, UII. The resource person for this activity was Dr. Kimberly Bomar., an attorney from Bomar Legal, Stanford, California. The International Guest Lecture, which starts at 09.30–11.30 Indonesian Westren Time (IWT)/WIB, carries the theme, “Henrietta Lacks and the Business, Technology, and Ethics of HeLa Cells.” This event, which was held offline and online via Zoom, was moderated by Head of Undergraduate Program in Law, Dodik Setiawan Nur Heriyanto, S.H., M.H., LL.M., Ph.D., and attended by more than 150 students from Undergraduate Study Program in Law.

In his explanation, Dr. Kimberly mentioned that “Henrietta Lacks (HeLa) was the Mother of Modern Medicine. Henrietta Lacks is the most important name in the field of biotechnology and medicine, which many people may not have known before. In 1950, not long after giving birth to her fifth child with David Lacks, Henrietta was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cervical cancer that would change the world of medicine forever. On January 29, 1951, Henrietta Lacks attended Johns Hopkins, the only hospital in the area treating black patients. However, during her treatment, Johns Hopkins took two samples from Henrietta’s cervix without her permission or knowledge. Then Doctor Johns sent the tissue samples to a cell biologist, Dr. George Otto Gey. From samples obtained by Dr. Gey, he isolated cancer cells by applying a technique he developed. These cells can grow and divide indefinitely in culture media, so Dr. Johns and Dr. Gey provide the cells for research around the world but do not sell them. Several biotechnology companies have succeeded in making a profit from HeLa cells and have patented how to use them, one of which is Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., which is a biotechnology company with annual revenues of more than $40 billion. Meanwhile, Henrietta’s family did not receive any compensation and struggled to pay for basic medical care.

Due to the HeLa Cell business, Henrietta’s descendants believed that the cells belonged to Henrietta and never gave them or allowed anyone to use them. So they believe that as heirs they have the right to receive compensation and sue the Thermo Fisher Company. Henrietta did not consent to the collection and use of her tissue, but her consent was not legally required at the time, and although Henrietta’s treatment reflected racist experiments against black people, Thermo Fisher was not present when Henrietta’s cells were taken. Ultimately, in August 2023, the case was resolved without a legal decision on whether the Lacks family was entitled to compensation for the use of HeLa cells.” The following is Dr. Kimberly Bomar.

HeLa cells are an invaluable tool in biomedical research. However, it is important to remember the history behind this cell and appreciate the contributions of Henrietta Lacks and her family. This International Guest Lecture event closed with a friendly gathering and lunch together in the Erasmus Room, 3rd Floor, UII Faculty of Law.

Erosion of International Humanitarian Law vs Civilians in Gaza

The Undergraduate Study Program in Law, Faculty of Law, UII (Universitas Islam Indonesia) again invites Fatma Al Ghussain, as Executive Director in Amna Care Fund Palestine Activists as a speaker on the Guest Lecture agenda which will be held on Tuesday, October 1, 2024. Guest Lecture which started at 15.30 and took place in the Legislative Drafting Room, 3rd floor, Faculty of Law UII, the theme raised on this occasion was “Legal Violations and the Extent of Application of International Humanitarian Law to Protect Civilians in Gaza”. This Guest Lecture activity is an effort to always remind us of the existence of humanitarian principles, as support for human rights, as well as solidarity as a developing country and also as a form of implementation of religious values. In International Humanitarian Law there are rules that regulate behavior that takes place in armed conflicts. The purpose of this law is to limit human suffering during war and establish limits on how to fight, and also provide protection to citizens or parties who do not take part in hostilities.

In her explanation, Mrs. Fatma Al Ghussain stated that “The attacks carried out by the Israeli army have killed more than 60,000 civilians, including children and women, mercilessly and indiscriminately using internationally prohibited weapons. They also bombed schools and tents filled with sheltering civilians, and killed everyone inside. Not only that, the Israeli army also blocked humanitarian aid from entering Gaza, including water, food, medicine and other basic necessities. They even excavate the graves of people who have died by taking their bodies and returning them without any internal organs. The atrocities carried out were not only carried out against the Palestinian population, but also by suppressing the press by killing anyone who reported what was happening in Gaza, either through sound or images. As well as threatening social media activists, by bombing their houses and killing their families. There is continuous oppression carried out by the Israeli army by killing humanitarian workers, local and international residents, they also force civilians to repeatedly move to new areas without allowing civilians to take their personal belongings with them. This of course illustrates the irrelevance of international humanitarian law in dealing with the genocide that is taking place in Palestine to date and shows that there is a failure of the global justice system in preventing war crimes.”

This Guest Lecture with resource person Mrs. Fatma Al Ghussain was moderated directly by the Head of Undergraduate Study Program in Law, Dodik Setiawan Nur Heriyanto, S.H., M.H., LL.M., Ph.D., and attended by more than 70 students of Undergraduate Study Program in Law, Faculty of Law UII. Before the Guest Lecture activity was closed by the moderator, there was a video screening session that had been prepared by Mrs. Fatma and continued with a question and answer session from several students present. It is hoped that this activity will make each other aware and be a form of support for Palestine, not only as a moral obligation, but also as an investment in the future of a more peaceful and just world.

Improving Academic Quality, Faculty of Law UII Holds Workshop on Scoring Assessment System Based on CPL and CPMK

The Undergraduate Study Program in Law, Faculty of Law, Universitas Islam Indonesia (FH UII) initiated a workshop on “Preparing an Assessment System Based on CPL and CPMK FH UII” on Tuesday (14/05) in the 4th Floor Mini Auditorium, Faculty of Law Building, Integrated Campus UII. The agenda was attended directly by all leadership lecturers and management lecturers of departments and study programs within the Faculty of Law UII. This event presented two presenters, namely Annisa Uswatun Khasanah, S.T., M.Sc., a lecturer at the Industrial Engineering Study Program, and Any Juliani, S.T., M.Sc. (Res. Eng.), Ph.D., a lecturer in the Environmental Engineering Study Program.

The Study Program in Law carried out this workshop to introduce information systems related to the curriculum, such as CPL (Graduate Learning Outcomes), CPMK (Course Learning Outcomes), course structure, syllabi, and RPS (Course Specification), where the system has been actualized and well formulated by the Environmental Engineering Study Program and the Industrial Engineering Study Program.

In his remarks, the Head of Undergraduate Study Program in Law, Faculty of Law, Universitas Islam Indonesia, Dodik Setiawan Nur Heriyanto, S.H., M.H., LL.M., Ph.D., explained that the assessment should be based on CPL and CPMK, In contrast, implementation at FH UII is still based on the mid-semester examination (UTS), final semester examination (UAS), and assignments. “The urgency of this workshop is due to the demands for accreditation; we were asked to evaluate the achievement of the CPL, which has been determined in the curriculum,” he concluded.

In her presentation, Annisa revealed that the level of lecturer participation in filling in CPMK and CPL achievements in the study program system is a big challenge. “Of course, all lecturers must be willing to fill in this to ensure the continuity of the learning quality system. “Every week or once a month, we hold a study program meeting where each lecturer is required to present the CPL and CPMK to provide feedback on course deficiencies so that they can be improved together,” she explained.

Furthermore, Any Juliani revealed that the focus of measuring CPL and CPMK is that apart from students having to pass according to the CPL we produce, there must also be continuous improvement. “We look for the root cause of the problem of CPL, which is difficult to achieve, then we evaluate it through RPS evaluation meetings at the end of each academic year to find out what the causes are that are difficult to achieve and what recommendations for improvement are made,” explained the Head of the Undergraduate Environmental Engineering Study Program.

In the future, Dodik hopes that developing the infrastructure for the CPL and CPMK assessment filling system can be realized immediately to streamline the accreditation and assessment process for lecturers at Faculty of Law, Universitas Islam Indonesia.
