Bobbette also told Deborah to fight off her cousins if they ever tried to have sex with her and to wait until she was an adult before she had babies. As Deborah grew, her male cousins <em>did <\/em>assault her, but she managed to fight them off.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bobbette Lacks believed that Deborah\u2019s sister Elsie\u2019s disability might have had something to do with the fact that Day and Henrietta were first cousins. (All of the Lacks children suffered from hearing loss, which Bobbette also attributed to Day and Henrietta\u2019s relation.) Deborah had long been disturbed by what had happened to her sister: For much of her childhood, Deborah hadn\u2019t even known of Elsie\u2019s existence; and when Day did tell her about Elsie, Deborah was afraid her sister, on account of her ignorance of sign language, had been abused and had no way to tell anyone.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bobbette Lacks Learns About HeLa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1973, Bobbette met a researcher at the National Cancer Institute who was working with HeLa cells and had recently read one of the articles that identified Henrietta. This chance meeting was how the Lackses first discovered their mothers\u2019 cells were still alive.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2000, when Skloot met the Lackses, Sonny and Bobbette expressed their skepticism of the doctors\u2019 intentions. According to them, Hopkins was known for experimenting on African Americans during that time, even going so far as to abduct them. <strong>Bobbette Lacks told Skloot that, as a child, she was forbidden from going near Hopkins after dark for fear of being kidnapped<\/strong>.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Hopkins in its Community<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, Bobbette Lacks had fears that reflected the historical and sometimes monstrous mistreatment of African Americans by the American medical establishment.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the early 19th century, African Americans had traded tales of \u201cnight doctors\u201d who would abduct people in the middle of the night for gruesome experiments. These tales weren\u2019t just the product of superstition: <strong>During slavery, doctors <em>would <\/em>in fact test new drugs or surgical procedures\u2014the latter without anesthesia\u2014on slaves<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The irony was that Johns Hopkins Hospital was founded to help poor people and especially African Americans<\/strong>. Johns Hopkins\u2019s father, a Maryland plantation owner, freed his slaves long before emancipation, and Johns Hopkins himself donated $7 million of his fortune to establish a medical school and charity hospital. In letters to the trustees he\u2019d chosen for the board of the hospital, he mandated that the hospital treat those who couldn\u2019t otherwise afford medical care and set aside funds for the express purpose of serving orphaned African-American children. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who was Bobbette Cooper Lacks?
