Research Proposal

            The topic I would like to explore, in relation to Henrietta Lacks is cancer treatment and how it compares to then and now. Especially how the treatment has developed since her death. Still up to debate whether I would talk about how cancer has changed in the views of Americans and if that has helped with the fight against cancer.

Tentative Thesis: Thanks to the HeLa cells science has made leaps and bounds as to the understanding and treatment methods of cancer.

Reflection: confronting a fetal abnormality

The doctor did the best he could to adjust his usual way of informing people, trying his best to deal with the mothers customs. The doctor could have handled it better unfortunately he ended up getting frustrated and blurting it out anyway. The problem is ancient customs and modern technology will never get along because of the gap between them.
