summary of p.137-176

    In the 1960s, scientists joked that HeLa cells were so robust that they could probably survive in sink drains or on doorknobs. They can survive everywhere. The general public could grow HeLa at home using instructions from a Scientific American scientists had managed to grow HeLa in space. And they find out that how the cells will be when they are in the space. Next, it is something about Deborah. When she was a junior in high school, at the age of 16, she got pregnant with her first child. Bobbette cried when she found out. And  Deborah stopped going to school. Then,Joe fights with Ivy and kills him after his military life. He hides for a few days, but he surrendered himself to the police. He said that he just want to protect himself so he kill Ivy accidentally, but a boy saw the truth. Therefore, Joe goes into jail. Next, Chectah falls into drugs and starts to beat Deborah after they get married. Deborah does not deserve to get beatings, so she brings her children and runs away from Chectah. And she started her single mother's life. In september 1966, a geneticist named Stanley Gartler walked up to the podium at a hotel in Bedford, Pennsylvania. There, in front of Gey and the other giants of cell culture, Gartler announced that he'd found a "technical problem" in their field. In 1970, Gey got a pancreatic cancer. He wants his cell like as Henrietta's cells immortal so he finds some scientists to research his cells. However, it is not successful. He died November 8 1970. When the article use Henrietta's on the newspaper, the Lack's family knows Henrietta's cell still alive.
