How do you think HeLa's family feels?

   Of course they feel bad about their situation and their family problems with no insurance policy for them which i think it should be free to them.

Many people think that doctors and researchers took advantage of Henrietta Lacks by using her cells and giving her (or her family) no compensation for them. What do you think?

      Hela cells have been used for a lot of research and help developed the vaccine for polio. Is been used for research on cancer and aids. What I'm saying is, that her cells were very important for today advancement in medicine and its still very important for researchers today. I don't think they took advantage of her but they could at least compensate her family with insurance and maybe some money.  

My best friend took advantage of me

       On December 24 2010, my best friend Jose  ask me to lend him some money to buy Christmas gift for his kids. I didn't have no problem in doing so, because he was after all my he was my best friend. We went to the bank and i gave him one thousand dollars. Later that night i went out with my wife to a restaurant and i saw Jose there, i ask him if he bought the toys and he told me that he did. The next day his wife called me that she need it to talk to me. we met in her house and she told me that Jose didn't buy anything to their kids for Christmas and she need it money. I told her that i gave Jose money and that i saw him in a restaurant. The next day he called me that he won' t pay me and to forget about our friendship, i was really mad and i wanted my money back. I went to his house and he told me that he will call the police if i don't leave his house. We got into a big argument he paid me half the money and never called me or answer my phone calls again.
