Moore did well after the surgery, and returned from Seattle to have checkups for the next seven years. But after awhile of him going back and forward he told Golde that he wanted a local doctor to look after him from that point on. Golde told John that he'd pay all his expenses and put him up in a luxury hotel if he'd just come back to UCLA for follow up exams. Golde had developed a cell line from Moore's tissues (called Mo) without his knowledge or consent.

In chapter 20 the HeLa bomb in the book the immortal life of Henrietta lacks. The geneticist Stanley Gartler told his audience at the Conference on Cell Tissue and Organ Culture that they had a huge, huge problem: whether they realized it or not, all their cell cultures were contaminated by HeLa. HeLa could float through the air on dust particles. So no matter how much scientists thought they were controlling contamination, HeLa hitched a ride on anything and everything. Gartler offered another piece to the puzzle: few new cell lines had grown since the scientific community consciously tried to stop cross-species contamination. Once HeLa wasn't doing its thing in the culture dishes, cells wouldn't grow.

Skloot talks about HeLa cells did in this time period: they rode into space in the Discoverer XVIII satellite and hitched a ride with the first humans in orbit. Harris did the same thing with HeLa and chicken cells, to see if he could get chicken cells to start reproducing again. It worked, though he didn't know why. The experiment helped scientists understand that cells had something to do with gene regulation, which they believed could lead gene therapy. Scientists were also able to map genetic traits by watching which chromosomes disappeared from the hybrids. Hybrids were also used to identify blood groups and innovate cancer therapies, and the concept of organ rejection could also be studied with these fusions, bringing successful organ transplantation one step closer

But it wasn't made into law in the U.S. And because no one wanted to be accused of hindering scientific progress, experimentation was still hugely unregulated in Southam's day.

With all the comings and goings of relatives, the younger Lacks children came down with tuberculosis. Ethel had hated Henrietta and now took it out on her children. She starved them and made them work way too hard. She also beat them viciously, and Joe caught the brunt of her rage. Deborah, the younger daughter, suffered sexual abuse at the hands of Ethel's husband Galen, and the abuse didn't stop when she went to live with Lawrence and Bobbette. Then Bobbette had to have the talk with Deborah when the little girl asked what "pregnant" meant.

In chapter 13 the HeLa Factory in the book the immortal life of Henrietta lacks. A factory was built to manufacture HeLa cells in bulk to help Dr. Jonas Salk test his polio vaccine. George Gey had HeLa cells growing like mad in his lab at Hopkins, and when he and a colleague from the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis (NFIP) realized that HeLa cells were more susceptible to the polio virus, they knew they had a winner. Soon, the cells were heading for labs other than those researching polio. Even though HeLa cells were cancerous, they were still useful for testing because they shared characteristics with normal cells. In 1953, a scientist fooling around with the cells made a mistake and was able to see chromosomes clearly for the first time, which led to the discovery that normal human cells have 46 chromosomes

At first Day refused permission for an autopsy. After Hopkins told him that they wanted to run tests that might help his children, he relented. After the autopsy, Henrietta's body was sent back to Clover on the train. Cousins Cliff and Fred had dug her a grave in the family cemetery, while Gladys and Sadie prepared her body.

When Emmett saw Henrietta this time, he hardly recognized her.

But a few weeks later, Henrietta was diagnosed with inoperable cancer. They sent her home. Henrietta was in such excruciating pain that no pain medication worked on her, not even morphine.

During Deborah's non-stop narrative, Skloot understands a very important thing: Henrietta's family doesn't understand what happened to their mother or Hopkins' role in it.

Henrietta was able to keep her cancer secret from everyone until she had to start x-ray therapy, which required her to go to Hopkins every day for a month. Henrietta also had to deal with another reality: she couldn't have any more children. The Hopkins team hadn't told her about infertility from the treatments. And more bad news followed. After her x-ray therapy, Henrietta became very ill. The skin on her trunk was burned from the treatments, and she felt a burning inside.

During the same time a man and a woman named Gey and Margaret were trying to work on immortal cells so they can find a cure for cancer. During Henrietta's first test the doctor said the safest way to get rid of the cancer was to use radium to solve the cancer but what the doctor didn't know was how bad the radium could hurt a person.
