Dorothy Hodgkin was one who always liked doing the impossible and living the edge on science. During her lifetime she made not one‚ but five discoveries. Each discovery was more complex than the other. Dorothy was born on May 12‚ 1910 in Cairo‚ Egypt. She was a scientist that spent her life studying different kinds of crystals. At the age of ten‚ she became interested in chemistry and crystal. This interest was encouraged by Dr. A.F. Joseph. Dr. A.F. Joseph was a friend of her parents in the Sudan

hela cells also help with finding cures and other medical problems. For the most part the hela cells have been successful with researching these things. Scientists have endless supply for research with hela cells and companies sell hela cells for profit.So scientists don’t have to experiment on humans and animals as much anymore‚ they just hela cells.

Who should profit from the HeLa cells in particular‚ and medical advances in general? Does the Lacks family have any claim to the money that has been made from HeLa? Laws control the lesser man.

Studies proved that the human body sells grow normally in space‚ however‚ with the cancerous HeLa cells; they divide and multiply at a fast rate.
