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.

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:
1. Your post must be at least 2 paragraphs
2. You must reply to at least one post and it must be at least 1 paragraph.

I am really hooked! Can't wait to read your thoughts!

Chapters 5 - 9

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.
