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.

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.

Things to remember:

1. Your post should be 2 paragraphs.
2. You must reply to one post in at least 1 paragraph

Can't wait to read your thoughts.
