Telling someone that is in pain that they are fine but they aren’t

No because Henrietta did not understand much about the human body or biology nor would I think Gey would tell her because in the fifties, doctors had thought it may be best to not tell patients who can't understand the concept very well. "...it was best not to confuse or upset the patients with frightening terms they might not understand, like cancer." Chap.8 #63

Pg. 66 "'Henrietta is still a miserable specimen,' they wrote."
I feel like when they refer to her as a specimen it takes away the humanity that Henrietta had and that she is just another thing that they are testing on and could be compared to that of a lab rat.

They showed sympathy towards Henrietta. That even though there was segregation and how they were using her to receive cells. they still had compassion, doing their best to ease her pain. Page 65 "Felt that she deserves to be in the hospital where she can be better cared for."

" During Henrietta's first few days in the hospital, the children came with Day to visit her, but when they left, she cried and moaned for hours."

The doctors, viewed her as a specimen, not a human being. She was in a very bad state, and they thought their was nothing more that they thought they could do, but leave her in the hospital and try to calm her pain. She was part of an experiment, and maybe also cause she was black they felt she was less of a person. pg 66 " Henrietta is still a miserable specimen," "she groans," "she is constantly nauseated and claims she vomits everything she eats."

Media was so amazed by what had been done, Carrel and the World though he had created immortal cells out of a chicken, he won the Nobel Prize, but soon they realized it had all been a lie, the cells had die soon after Carrel had passed away, and just right before that people would think the cells would reproduce so much they would like take over the city.

I think Pattillo decided to help Skloot contact Henrietta's family because even he was interested in the fact that Skloot would write a book about Henrietta Lacks, and by writing this book, the world would get to know the person from the whom scientists have created medicine for a lot of disease. Page #49 "When I called Ronald Patillo to see what he knew about Henrietta, I told him I was writing a book about her."
