1. Rebecca Skloot asked Sonny to invite Deborah over. Sonny refused because Deborah did not want to talk to reporters about her mother. Deborah Lacks survives the popular Henrietta Lacks, whose HeLa cells helped to discover cancer.

2. The proof to show that Sonny and Day Lacks did not trust doctors was that doctors at <em>Johns Hopkins</em> used unethical practices during experiments without obtaining consent.

For example, the story was that <em>Johns Hopkins Hospital</em> was sited in a poor black community to obtain ready access to black bodies for experimentation. Doctors at the Hospital engaged in kidnapping black people at nightfall to use in experiments. Even graves and newly-born blacks did not escape this unethical practice.

3. The three reasons the Lacks family is angry about Johns Hopkins are:

  • The family feels cheated that Henrietta's cells enriched others while the family remained without medical insurance.
  • The family remained in the dark about the use of Henrietta's cells for the cancer experiment.
  • Doctors did not seek nor obtain Henrietta's consent.

Thus, <em>"The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" by Rebecca Skloot</em> gives pathetic details about the first human cells obtained from Henrietta Lacks to study cancer.  The HeLa cells are still being used for other medical experiments today.

Which theme is reinforced in the excerpt below from Shakespeare's Hamlet? Rightly to be great
pashok25 [27]

The theme that is reinforced in the excerpt from Shakespeare's Hamlet is letter B: the complexity of action.

This soliloquy refers to the eaner feelings of Hamlet of taking revenge.

This passage is considered a turning point for Hamlet: he is watching that lots of men will die for fighting for a piece of territory while he that has a lot of reason to fight (because he has a father killed and a mother stained) does nothing at all so that he decides to take revenge.
