Discovery of Radium and Polonium Marie Curie received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1911 for her discovery of radium and polonium. She was able to isolate and study the compounds and nature of radium.

During the time of the experimentation of Henrietta Lacks cells‚ white people were seen as superior to blacks and the only hospital that were allowed to care for African Americans was John Hopkins Hospital. Even though this was the only hospital black people still weren’t given the same care as whites. Henrietta had come from a black community‚ so she and her family were looked down on in the health care community. Henrietta had originally gone to the doctor because she had a lump in her cervix and

the Drug In Europe A woman was near death from a special kind of cancer. There was one drug that the doctors thought might save her. It was a form of radium that a druggist in the same town had recently discovered. The drug was expensive to make‚ but the druggist was charging ten times what the drug cost him to produce. He paid $200 for the radium and charged $2‚000 for a small dose of the drug. The sick woman’s husband‚ Heinz‚ went to everyone he knew to borrow the money‚ but he could only get together

A certain study “conducted by Howard Jones‚ Henrietta’s physician – showed that radium was safer and more effective than surgery for treating invasive cervical cancer.” (Skloot 32). Radium had been used for years to treat cancer and despite its drawbacks it had been shown that it effectively “kills cancer cells.” (Skloot 32).

in the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It all started rather innocently in 1896‚ when Antoine Henri Becquerel discovered radioactivity in Uranium. The next step came in 1902 when Marie and Pierre Curie isolated radioactive metal called Radium. In 1934‚ Enrico Fermi of Italy disintegrated heavy atoms by spraying them with neutrons. Unfortunately‚ he didn’t realize that he had achieved nuclear fission‚ In December 1938‚ Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassman in Berlin did a similar experiment with

INTRODUCTION Lawrence Kohlberg was born on October 25‚ 1927 – January 19‚ 1987. He was was an American psychologist best known for his theory of stages of moral development.
