She was interested anything about her, because she gave her immortal calls to benefit for people, but nobody don’t know her. Lack’s daughter Deborah said the hospital just took her mothers cells with out her permission. They didn’t give them any money for her cells. Even though, they made a lot of money by it. Henrietta lacks found out something bad in her womb when she had pregnant with her fifth child, therefore she decided to go to Hopkins hospital which is the only for colored patient to do the exam. Because of that time colored people was divided to white people. They were separate from everything. Therefore Henrietta was examined at the gynecology clinic at jones hospital by Dr.
