　　Just after Henrietta Lacks' death, a HeLa factory was planning to begin. It is a factory which would grow to produce trillions of HeLa cells each week. And the main reason for having a HeLa factory is helping to stop polio. At that time, there was a big problem of polio epidemic. They need to use a large scale of cells to test the vaccine and prove it was safe and effective. At first, they use the monkey's cells for the test, but it is too expensive for a large scale. After that, NFIP heard about HeLa cells, and then they contavted Gey for help. Then they found that HeLa cells are very sutiable for the test. Gey successfully shipped the cells in mail. Finally, the first HeLa factory was opened and it is called Tuskegee Center. At first the Tuskegee Center supplied HeLa cells only to polio testing labs. But when it became clear that there was no risk of a HeLa shortage, they began sending the cells to any scientist interested in buying them. People used HeLa cells in many different ways.First, a group of reseacher used HeLa to develop method for freezing cells without harming or chaning them. Later, a fatory that just sell HeLa cells was opened. HeLa was changing the world and make the world became better.

         Later, more people knew about HeLa, but they knew nothing about the owner of HeLa. People wanded to know more about the woman behind. So some magazine's editor came to find Gey to know more about that. But Gey didn't want to talk about his patient. When the editor sent the article to Gey for help, he corrected several scientific errors but leaving two inaccuracies: the timeing of growing the cells and the name Helen L. So that the woman behind the HeLa cells would be know most often as Helen Lane or Helen Larson, but not Henrietta Lacks. Because of that, her family hand no idea her cells were alive.

       After Henrietta's death, her children's life was very harsh. A woman called Ethel started up with Day, and she hated Henrietta very much, she just wanted to torture Henrietta's children. They needed to work all day and did not have enough food to eat. And sometime they would be beaten by Ethel for no reason. When Lawrence came back, they moved to his house. When  Deborah grew older, she started to think more about her mother, and she wanted to know more about her and what happen to her mother.

      Rebecca just visited Cootie, a Henrietta's cousin. They talk many about Henrietta. After that, Rebecca went to find another Henrietta's cousin called Cliff. Cliff bring her to the place where Henrietta Buried and talk many thing's about her.

      As HeLa grew like crabgrass in laboratories around the world, a virologist named Chester Southam had a frightening thought: What if Henrietta's cancer cells could infect the sxientists working on them? Gey and several others had already shown that some rats grew tumors when inject with live HeLa. Why not humans?
He did some horrible things later. He inject some HeLa cells into 25 volunteers and prisoners' body. And he didn't told anyone about that.

Impression:

HeLa cells are really important to the world.

Question:

Why didn't Deborah just tell Day that Ethel always beat them for no reason and don't give food to them?
