Immortal cells of Henrietta Lacks

http://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2017/4/21/15275514/oprah-henrietta...

Henrietta died young in the 50's yet her cancer cells still live today. They have been used in research for many vaccines.
This is a unique type of cancer that seems immortal for now. Who created this powerful little killer? God is the only one with such powers right?
I need to read the book. Im puzzled.

John,

John,
Thats insanely cool. :) One of my favorite clients is a brilliant professor at UCSD. HIs lab has been working on a way to make and already successful device wireless. Its implanted in the brain of people that are unable to move their limbs and it creates a connection neurologically that has given people abilities to walk and move. The problem is that the bodies have rejected this device and attacked the wires so most if not all have been removed. he says these People who have gained and then lost these abilities are suffering depression. that makes sense to me. His lab is working on creating a wireless version thats more conforming to the curves of the brain.
Science is Amazing!

The book was quite

The book was quite interesting. Read it when it first came out. I hope they don't f up the story in the film. IMO, there have been so few film adaptations of books that have been, well, even decent.

No kidding! Just look what

No kidding! Just look what was done with other HBO mini-series like Band of Brothers, or its sister series, The Pacific. Fantastic shows, both based on WWII memoirs and novels, but they were both grossly inaccurate to the books.

If she had immortal cells

If she had immortal cells then why don't we all have immortal cells? We are, according to the Bible, all equal under God as brothers and sisters.
So the point here is, No, you can't say that God had a hand in it because there's no way you can prove it, nevertheless, us, not knowing about what makes them immortal, is just a temporary problem which will soon face a Solution.
