The most dangerous woman in American typhoid mary
How would you feel is someone accused you on being the cause of a dangerous infectious
disease? or image being treat different based on who you are or even where you come from. I
believe that People health should be treated equally. I was scared when I started watching the
film because the sound that was played in the field was like from terror movies and the place was

sick she didn't know that she was a healthy carrier of the Typhoid disease. She was a 37 years
old immigrant from Irish and maybe that was the factor that make the people from the
department of health treated her the way they did that was with not ethic and disrespectful.
One example in the film that demonstrates informed consent is when Mary Mallon didn’t
want to do any test regarding the disease of the Typhoid fever that George the detective was
accusing her because he believe she may be the one who was causing the infection disease that
was affecting many people in the town. The detective finds her in the family where she was
working, she told him if he was mad or something that she never been sick and that she will not
do any testing or go anywhere. She wasn't even helping to find the solution because she refused
to do any test to check if she was sick or had the infectious disease. However, she had the right
on making her own choice whether to go or not going, but she also needs to think about the
health of others who health can be in danger due to a disease that was having many in bed and
