17) I am glad that Henrietta's "cells that were taken for cancer research 62 years ago without her knowledge and are now used in laboratories worldwide will no longer be free to use without her grandchildren's permission "

14) Thank you,my doctors for writing an article about the history of HeLa in order to pay my homage #NHSHenrietta and mentioned @HenriettaLacks3



13) #cancer Life will die, but knowledge won't. #NHSHenrietta #HeLa


12) #NHSHenrietta #lovelife @Margaret_Gey Dear, it is time to give credit to Henrietta. The respectful lay deserve that. #HeLa


11) #NHSHenrietta #cancersurvivor wanna be one of them and get back to work...



10) #NHSHenrietta Please, I beg you, my fellow colleagues, take the cells immortal from me as samples.


Response  @Margaret_Gey
My dear, thank you so much for your effort.

Response to @marykubicekNHS
Thank you for still remebering me.

Response to @HenriettaLacks3
Do u feel better? I am Dr.Gey who visit u in hospital today. Hope u will feel better.


9) I told Henietta her cells were going to “help save the lives of countless people.” today. Let's bless this tough lady🙏🏻 @HenriettaLacks3#NHSHenrietta#cancer


8) Thankful for the TV show in Baltimore to give me a chance to give the audience an “overview of cell structure and cancer.”#NHSHenrietta


7) "Henrietta’s cells double in size every morning!!!!!!!!!" That's so impressing!!! Let's see how it will go.#NHSHenrietta


6) Just take a moment to enjoy my roller-tube culturing technique here. Bravo! #NHSHenrietta


5) 😕Oh god, my wife hired an woman again to clean the lab...is that because she is a surgical nurse? #nurselife



4) @marykubicekNHS please explain to me why you seems unenthusiastic today after I gave u Henrietta's cell.



3) GOT SOME FANTASTIC TISSUE from Dr. Lawrence Wharton Jr today! Everything is on the right track.



2) “In 1943, a group of researchers had done so with mouse cell”！I definitely will start my hand on it. @richard_telinde#life



 Response to @richard_telinde
Yah, sure. I will email you my free time, and you can come to my lab.


1) #NHSHenrietta Ultimate goal: to grow the first immortal human cells, ones which would divide forever.


Reflection:
Because there are not many saying from Gey that what he was thinking about, I add some personality on him. As the result, I turn him become a person who did not care about whether give the credit to Henrietta or not at first until a person who would like to share this honor with her. However, from the anger of Henrietta's family, I sincerely feel the importance of being ethically right. Every researcher or scientist are not only researcher or scientist, the most significantly, they are all human being. Therefore, taking others cell without getting the consent from them or crediting them will not only hurt their families feeling, but also betray the rule as a person. What my character did remind me the seriousness of doing citation. Sometimes, I will be too lazy to put all the citation, however, after reading this book, I realize that citation is a way you can show your respect and thanks to the author.

Dr. Geroge Gey 2017 biography

Hi everyone, my name is George Gey, Hopkins’ head of tissue culture research. I was raised in Pittsburgh, where my family lived in poverty.  Using this process, Gey, along with his mentor Warren Lewis, was able to film the incredibly slow process of cell growth. My wife's name is Margaret Gey. She is a nurse, and my colleague as well. "Margaret was cautious and stable, the backbone of the lab,". I had been attempting to grow cancer cells outside the human body since I became a scientist. The purpose of that is to determine cancer’s cause and find a cure. My ultimate goal was to grow the first immortal human cells, ones which would divide forever.

Therefore, I decided to make a deal with TeLinde: He would provide me with cervical cancer tissue, and I response for attempting to grow it. Although I made a deal wi him, I was still unconfident towards the experiment, since in all the previous history, scientists did not know what exactly cells needed to survive, or how to supply them with those nutrients.

I worked in Hopkins’basement, and employed a lab assistant who named Mary Kubicek, a young smart lady, to sleep by the camera at night to ensure that it was remaining stable. Using this process, I was able to film the incredibly slow process of cell growth.
Interestingly, because of the problem of contamination, Because Bacteria and multiple other microorganisms exist everywhere, my wife,  Margaret, had become obsessed with cleanliness-she even hired a woman who named Minnie to clean the glassware used in the lab-.

Life will never betray those people who puts efforts on their work. Two days after Henrietta's cells were sent to my home, when Mary checks on Henrietta’s cells, she founds out that small cell growths at the bottom of each tube. In one the following morning,  when I walked in the laboratory, while Mary was crushing towards me,  she was shouting as the same time:" '"Henrietta’s cells double in size every morning' !" I told Mary keep putting her eyes on it, because those cells could die at any time. Surprisingly, they didn't.
I was so excited about that, so i made a announcement about my lab may have created the world’s first immortal human cell line.

Since sharing is the best way to spread knowledge, at the same time, is a stimulation of development, I sent the samples to every scientist  who wanted them for cancer research for free.
As more scientist receive the cell sample, I start to question myself: should I credit Henrietta or no. This had been a huge question around my mind each time when I walked in my laboratory and looked at those fast-growing samples.

On one hand, immortal cells has been a distasteful, and even largely ignored area, so it didn't matter if I credit her or not. No one will notice that. But from the morally ethical side, it is immortal to take one's cell and take advantage from it. However, if I didn't do that, it will not hurt me. Henrietta probably was going to be happy when she hear from me that thousand of life would be saved by her contribution. I convinced myself.

Although I had decided not to give credit to her, I just felt guilty when I saw them. Finally, I decided to hold her name back firstly.

Years after, Henrietta was sick again; I even heard from my wife that her neighbors even could hear her cries from a block away by the pain. Therefore, she got sent to my hospital on August 8th. What a great chance to start my research again! So I ordered the doctor to take more cells from her cervix. Unfortunately, according to the result I got from her cervix cell, since her body got polluted by the toxins, her cells dead almost immediately. No matter how much painkiller we gave to her, they didn't work. As the result, I went to visit this poor but tough lady. My colleagues, Laure Aurelian , went to visit her as well. I standed in front of her bed, sit down ver slowly, and picked up her hand. I could tell by her eyes that she was suffering, but tough as her, she didn't complain about anything. I felt very guilty about my decision of didn't give credit to her, so I moved my sight to those medicine bottles next to her bed. I asked myself seriously: shouldn't this strong lady deserve the credit? The answer was firm: Yes. But I probably should not put that out right now, since there is going to too much rumors going on, thus I can not focus on my research. I stand up again, gently put her delicate hand back in the quilt, looked at her into her eyes, and said:" you cells were going to 'help save the lives of countless people' ". After saying that sentence, I had no courage to look at her reaction, and walked, more detail, escaped from her room.

Months later, I sadly heard the new of her death. I knew this is my last chance to do the reserch on her, so I asked the doctor if they can perform an autopsy to see if other cells in her body will grow like HeLa. By the agreement from Day, they were able to do so. While we were gathering sample, I skimmed Mary was looking at her red toenail, and then, her facial expression became very weird, but I didn't know why.

There were years after I did my first experiment, many of my fellow colleagues asked me to publish my paper, so I can get credit from it. But I didn't want to. I always told them that I was too busy, however, the guilt from my heart stopped me by getting all of the credit.  After prodding from Mary and my wife, I finally decided to wrote a short abstract but not a long paper. Subsequently, my wife began to simply writing and submitting my work for me. Although I told her I did not want to and I did not deserve all the credit, she always told me that the early I published those paper, the earlier human being can solve the question of cancer. I didn't have anything to say about her response.

In the end, I became the people who suffered by the cancer. That was the most difficult period of time I had ever had in my life. The endless pain and the countless medicines dragged me crazy. The only I want was to get back to my lab and continue my research. However, I could not. So I asked my college to take my cells as samples, but they refused me.

I could not really remember what happened afterwards. The only thing I remembered was the pain crush towards me. Finally, I felt like every single second could be my last moment in this world. I have so many things haven't done yet; I have so many regrets that want to correct them. So in the end of my life, what actually something I can do as a scientist, or human being? I asked my wife came to my bed, and told her that after I died, credited Henrietta as the contributor of the HeLa cells, so she and her family would be happy to see that, and that is the only thing I could do.

Life will end, but science will stay forever.

The End.
