Medical Experiments Captured In The Film, By Louis Pasteur

447 Words2 Pages

In the film, Louis Pasteur, I observed how he conducted his medical experiments. There are several actions that occurred in the movie. First off, Pasteur made many observations with each theory. In the movie, when the boy had rabies, a fatal disease caused by a virus that is usually contracted through an animal bite, Pasteur was observing his wound and kept him under observation. Another action that I have noticed was that there were many random samples, including his duplicate studies. This was the purpose of helping the Russians with their illness. Thereafter, Pasteur conducted numerous observations with his colleagues while looking at the same theory . An example would be when finding a vaccination for the anthrax .
Pasteur’s scientific

The possibilities of research with HeLa cell were endless, anything from the research on atomic radiations effect on cells and how to reverse the damage, to the discovery of cells being able to live on after the extraction of their nucleus, and even the vast amount of studies of chemotherapy drugs, hormones, vitamins, and environmental stress proved the importance of HeLa cells in modern research (Skloot, Pg. 102). For the first time ever, scientists were able to properly identify the correct number of chromosomes and map them out, this further lead to the ability of being able to diagnose diseases where individuals had an excess or lack of chromosomes such as Trisomy 21 or Klinefelter syndrome (Skloot, Pg. 100). The science world had finally found a way to overcome the expense and strenuous procedures to obtain cell subjects, scientist could test the effect of gravity, the pressure of deep sea diving by spinning the cells in a centrifuge (Skloot,

Doctors tried hanging sheets in between beds, chewing tobacco, spraying throats with alcohol, and even bribing prisoners to let doctors run tests on them. The resulting lack of progress caused by the unknown created a cloud of mystery around the virus. For example, the government censored news channels that brought doctors on set in an attempt to calm the American people.
