Reading Interpretation

       This is a very interesting non-fiction story because it tells us how doctors and scientists worked at that time.  The author try to tell us the importance of Henrietta’s cells and the discovery that scientist did with her cells through.  The writer wrote about Henrietta's family and how the years passed and her family did not know what happened with Henrietta's cell until years later.  I like this story because we can learn about the first immortal cells and who was the person behind it.

                                                  

Summary of Henrietta Lacks' Immortal cells

      The author explained who was Henrietta Lacks, why her cells were so important for scientists and the world, how she got interested in Henrietta, when Henrietta’s family found out about her cells and what are the lessons from this history.   For example, they took her cells to see how cells worked and test theories causes and treatments of diseases.  In 1951, at John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, it was the first place that had the first immortal human cell line from Henrietta's cervical cancer.   Her cells when to space and it helped to develop the polio vaccine and so on.
