Henrietta Lacks Chapter 15-16

Discussion Questions:

Chapter 15
1) Is there a sense of Deborah's mixed feelings or contradictory ideas about Galen?
How do those feelings play a part in her molestation?

2)Why was Ethel allowed to continue treating the Lacks children for as long as she did?

3)What will happen to Joe due to treatment he was given at such a small age(child)?

Chapter 16
1) Why did Cliff bring Skloot to the family cemetery? What was the purpose?
How does race still play a role in communities like Clover?

2)Why do the "white" and "colored" Lacks families have different ideas/rules about their interconnections and what made them think differently?

3)How does the Lacks family history in the book compare to Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemmings point of view?
