I think we do need to address the drug and addiction problem that is becoming increasingly popular by establishing more resource and rehab centers.

This hurts small businesses the most, and eventually will hurt Utah's economy.

Most banks require a 20% down payment if you take out loans, so to put $80,000 down out of pocket is so much to ask for from many young people that do not have that money.

By being raised to stay silent, the audience becomes empathetic towards Henrietta, in which we feel bad for her inability to be loud and stand up against the wrong doings of the doctors. Additionally, this story portrays a more logical understanding of Henrietta, that she did not speak up against the injustice due to the way she was raised.

Thus this creates a sense of understanding for the reader, in which the comparison serves to establish the large impact Henrietta's cells had on the world of science-helping cure many diseases, while benefiting the lives of many.

By stating the legal qualification of making an action like this illegal, the author demonstrates the logic as to why the case of Henrietta was unethical, due to the fact it was illegal. Here, the author removes any emotions, stating experimenting with Henrietta's cells was wrong for the simple fact that it was unlawful.

By doing so, the author establishes a sense of emotional praise, similar to what one would experience in a religious setting like church.

Since the HeLa cells continue to live for an eternity, it reduces the value of other cells, thus making the HeLa cells most valuable to researchers.

This helps the audience understand the visual of a cell without needing a biology background to do so. Wed, 08 Nov 2023 13:29:07 -0500
