Ch. 35 to The Afterword

I must say I thoroughly enjoyed the book. Now that we have finished, what are your thoughts on using patients' tissues for research? Should patients decide how their tissues are used and should they be able to make a profit?

On the personal aspect of the book, I was sad when Deborah died. I was happy to read Zakariyya stopped drinking and the Lack's boys are carrying on the wishes of their sister. I wanted to know more about what the family is doing now. Did Davon and Alfred Jr. finish high school? Did they go to college? I still have so many questions. What are your questions? What do you want to know now that you have finished the book?

Remember to write at least 2 paragraphs for your post and to respond to at least one post in a paragraph.

Chapters 30-34

What are your thoughts regarding the family's reaction to see Henrietta's cells and the help they received from the author? What did you think about the possible lawsuit?

I think you know the drill! Please be reflective in your post. I am looking forward to reading your thoughts.

Ch. 25-29

I really enjoyed the last five chapters. It delved a little more deeper into the lives of Henrietta's children and the implications of the HeLa cells. What are your thoughts? Please be a little more insightful in your post. I want to read specifics about the importance of the HeLa cells and the bioethics of using the HeLa cells.

2. You must reply to one post in at least 1 paragraph

Can't wait to read your thoughts.

Sorry for posting so late!!! I will extend the post until Thursday. What has grabbed your attention thus far? How does what is happening in the chapters related to what we are studying now? I see many implications HeLa cells had on the discoveries we are learning about now. What are your thoughts?

Can't wait to read your thoughts!!!

Chapters 15 - 19

These chapters had many social ramifications and scientific ramifications. I was saddened by the care Henrietta's children received after her death. What are your thoughts about the children and their feelings about her cells being "Immortal"?

• Remember you need to write 2 paragraphs for your post and 1 paragraph for a response.

Can't wait to read your thoughts!

Chapters 10-14

Chapters 10 -14 is really interesting. I was enthralled by the fact that while they were mass producing the HeLa cells at Tuskeegee Institute, the Tuskeegee experiment was occuring. In your post, please reflect on the plethora of information given about the HeLa cells and the impact on mankind.

A couple of reminders:

I liked reading your last blog post tremendously! Just a couple of reminders:

1. Your original post must be at least 2 paragraphs. Please use correct grammar and punctuation.
2. You must respond to at least 1 other post in one paragraph.

When you write your post think about the following:

1. The doctors not telling Henrietta that the treatments would leave her infertile.
2. Deborah's and the family reluctance to help Rebecca.
3. The endless experiments done to Henrietta's cells.

Of course I want you to think of other interesting information. I can't wait to read your thoughts.
