He goes to John Hopkins hospital. a doctor tells him that they should get their DNA and compare it to their mothers. The Lacks family thought they were being screened for cancer. After some time they all begin to worry that they were injected with the same cancer that killed their mother. Skloot later realized that the people's blood he was testing had no idea they were being tested. this brings up the idea of medical ethics. the doctors and scientists who took advantage of the Lacks family used them to profit off of. Thu, 11 Mar 2021 14:09:46 -0500 Chapter 19 Summary https://nowcomment.com/documents/259680?scroll_to=2366290 https://nowcomment.com/documents/259680?scroll_to=2366290 This chapter gave detailed information about Joe and his difficulties with authority and an inferiority complex. He eventually ends up in prison for killing Ivy after turning himself in. You can draw a straight line from his childhood abuse to his adulthood. In prison, he converts to Islam. Henrietta's death benefited a lot of people and continues to benefit a lot of people but not her family. These are just some details about the difficult lives that Henriettas children lived. This gave us a greater understanding of Henrietta as a human not just a collection of cells. Deborah is struggling with her abusive husband but does eventually get herself of that situation.

We were also introduced to Dr. Gey and his wife who were trying to find human cells they could grow immortally in the lab. Henrietta Lacks went into the hospital after being told by her doctors that she had cervical cancer, but not having told anyone else, and underwent a radium treatment. Henrietta Lacks also had samples taken from her body without her consent or her knowledge. These samples were given to Gey and his wife to test to see if they could grow them in the lab.
