1. Which one of the following sentences about Henrietta Lacks is NOT true? She is responsible for a great advance in medicine. She died while giving birth to her fifth son. She never knew of her contribution to medicine. She was segregated for being black. 2. When Henrietta Lacks was in hospital, George Gey operated to remove her tumour. received some of her tissue. informed her of his experiments. was growing human cells in his lab. 3. Because of senescence, cells continue dividing and multiplying. the DNA replicates perfectly throughout one’s lifetime. cancers are avoided. cells eventually die. 4. Lacks’s cells “became a workhorse of biological research.” This means that they were used over and over again. they divided endlessly. they could be shared easily. they were preserved in a lab. 5. The HeLa cell line has been the basis for medical research for years. was immortalised in a laboratory. is only used in studies on the health of black people. cannot be used in present-day research anymore. 6. According to the text, neither Henrietta nor her family were ever asked permission to conduct experiments with her cells. the companies that used her cells in their products have paid her family compensation. Lacks’s medical records have been very useful to scientists and doctors, and that’s why they were published. Black people at that time had their lives exposed by doctors and the health-care system. 7. The #BlackLivesMatter movement has made researchers consider stopping the use of HeLa cells completely. has increased the number of COVID-19 deaths among black people. considers the research done with HeLa cells illegal. expects scientists to continue the experiments with HeLa cells. 8. Some of Henrietta’s descendants want to pay tribute to all the people who have died of cancer. do not mind what was done wrong, because the result was worth it. are organising a party to celebrate the anniversary of her death. are encouraging people of all races to contribute to cancer research.
