Similar to other discoveries, evidence shows that discovery of the DNA structure was marred by controversies. Part of this controversy involved Rosalind Elsie Franklin, an X-ray crystallographer who was working on DNA with Maurice Wilkins at King’s College in London, England, between 1950 and 1953 (Sayre, 1975). She then moved to Birbeck College in London, where she worked on tobacco mosaic and poliovirus until her tragic death from cancer in 1958 at the age of thirty-seven. Following the…

On 4 October 1951, Henrietta Lacks died. However, in death, she was transformed. Her cervical cancer cells, taken without her knowledge, would revolutionize the medical world by aiding in the development of gene mapping, cloning, and the polio vaccine (Skloot, 96). The method used by her Johns Hopkins doctors to gain access to her immortal cells was nothing short of unethical. Medical consent hardly existed in 1950, and doctors were able to take anything from patients they deemed valuable…

HeLa cells are cancer cells that come from a human’s cervix. These cells were the first of human cancer cells to be continuously cultured and led to many other strains of cells that could also be used for experimentation. When a cell is cultured that means that the cell is removed from an animal or plant and instead grown in an artificial environment. These cells were important to study because they grow extremely fast if they have the right conditions and enough space. Most cancer cells do…

Nationalism provoked German under the leadership of Otto von Bismarck to establish the German Unification ideology that provoked the Austro-Prussian War that ensured a win against Austria in 1866 (Smith 59).
