In the 1960s scientists say the HeLa cells are becoming strong. It is very resilient and can survive in many situations. They mixed these cells with dead or sick cells. Henrietta's older 2 sons were doing good on their own. Her daughter is pregnant at 16 years old. She becomes a violent mother and beats her child. Joe dropped out of school at 7th grade and is in jail for murder. Gey is working on human genes to clone. Lawrence is the only child that remembers Henrietta. In 1970 Gey gets cancer. He wants to use his cells like hers for cancer. The surgeons think taking the cancer out will kill him. Later, Gey dies.
Impression:
The children of Henrietta are not doing too well overall. Also the scientist are doing injustice with the testing.
Question:
What caused Henrietta's children to become terrible?
