Henrietta Lacks Research Paper

The Immortal Life Of Henrietta Lacks

She creates an interest to the story by first beginning talking about a photograph of a woman she has never met before. Then she begins to describe the picture of the woman. She says that the woman is wearing a dress suit, had red lipstick on, hands on hip, and she smiles at the camera. But then Rebecca makes it more interesting by saying that the woman had a tumor that left her five children motherless, and that she changed the future of medicine. Afterwards she begins to talk about the person's name, and how no one knew who “HeLa” was. Everyone identify her as Helen Lane, but her real name was Henrietta Lacks. Rebecca the makes it more interesting by saying that Henrietta's Cells have lived more outside

To white men black people were just test subjects. I think that Dr.TeLinde’s research was somewhat important, because it could be the new way of finding new cures or his research could revolutionize the art of medicine. Dr.TeLines research wasn't that justified. The only thing he had said was that he needed resources to keep going on with his research.

For example, in the book it said “Gey was a reckless visionary-spontaneous, quick to start dozens of projects….whenever an idea hit him..scribbling diagrams on napkins”. I think that Dr.Gey gave his colleges some

I think that Deborah’s attitude changed so much since the first call, because her brothers told her that she should write the story herself, but the main reason was because a lot of people have come to “write the story” of their mother, but they always end up lying. After the responses from Deborah and Day, I was a bit surprised she kept going. In my mind I thought she would just give up, but she didn’t. It was like a obsession to know the truth about the real Henrietta Lacks, and her life. I don’t think that the Lacks family knew what the HeLa cells had done, because even Deborah asks for the truth about her momma’s
