Jonathan Swift, Alexander Pope, is among the popular 18th-century satire writers in England. Satire as a literary direction was popular due to the great presence of false heroism, false morality, foolishness among the population, especially the nobility. These writers described real-life events where, due to the strict application of some convictions, there were very tragic situations that had serious consequences for the Catholic population, as well as absurd comical situations, where insignificant things made laughter in public.

<span>There are several reasons that had led Henrietta and her family in distrusting medical doctors and hospitals. They weren't treated properly and they weren't being given/told the truth. Throughout Henrietta's life after being diagnosed with cancer and through treatment doctors hadn't been telling her everything she should have had the right to know. Then even after Henrietta passed away for a period of time her family still didn't know about the HeLa cells. Henrietta and her family deserved to know all that was happening. Henrietta had a right to be given the choice about giving samples of her cells but she wasn't even told about it. This is what led Henrietta and her family into distrusting medical doctors and hospitals.</span>
