Summary from handout ( Henrietta)

Opinion:
I like this article. It is easier for me to understand the information. The author Sarah Zielinski interviews Rebecca Skllt who wrote " the immortal cells of Henrietta Lacks," and Rebecca point out many important information from the book. i used to get an answer from one chapter, and now I can get many answers from one question that Rebecca answered.

Summary:

The Henrietta Lack’s immortal cells helps medical researchers learned the details of how cells work and test the cause and treatment of diseases. Hela’s cells is the first immortal cells in culture, it is developing the polio vaccine, Rebecca introduces Henrietta Lacks who hide behind the immortal cells to the world.
