UBaltimore Owesifazane Ongakaze Afe

UBaltimore Owesifazane Ongakaze Afe esibhedlela iJohn Hopkins eBaltimore, e-United States. umama osemncane ushiye uphawu olungalindelekile Imibhalo yezinkondlo ezikwenza ucabange, izindaba ezingavamile, Izithombe, amavidiyo okuzokwenza uhambe. wamukelekile kubhulogi lami

,,,01,,, UBaltimore Owesifazane Ongakaze Afe

,,,01,,, Konke kwaqala ngoFebhuwari 1951

emnyangweni wezocwaningo ngesiko lezicubu zomuntu

esibhedlela iJohn Hopkins eBaltimore, e-United States.

Uprofesa ophethe le nsizakalo nguDokotela George Otto Gey.

Ngomkakhe, bazame iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-20,

ngeze, ukugcina amangqamuzana omdlavuza kumasiko ukuze ukwazi ukuwafunda.

Umsebenzi awunakwenzeka, ngenxa yenani eliphansi lezigaba,

ulayini weseli ukhule ngaphandle komzimba womuntu

kugcine kucime ukuphelelwa yithemba kwalezi zithandani zocwaningo.

Egumbini elisesibhedlela iHopkins eligcinelwe abamnyama

(siphakathi kokubandlululwa ngokohlanga e-USA),

sethula uProfesa Gey umama osemncane

Oneminyaka engu-31 oza kokwelapha

kutholakale isimila esibi emlomo wesibeletho ezinsukwini eziyisishiyagalombili ngaphambili.

Uyelashwa, njengabo bonke abagulayo besikhathi,

radium. Udokotela wezifo zabesifazane omlandelayo uyathatha

isampula lesimila sakhe asitshengise uDkt Gey.

Lesi sakamuva sihlaziya amangqamuzana omdlavuza

eqoqwe abese enza ukutholwa okungavamile.

Akugcini nje ngokungafi, kepha kuyanda ngaphandle komkhawulo.

Ubukhona be-enzyme ethile

kumaseli weHenrietta Kushoda,

futhi engatholakalanga kwenye indawo,

okusheshisa ukwanda okungalawuleki

ngokwehlukana okulandelanayo. Lokhu kutholakala

kwaba nesithakazelo esikhulu kuGeorge Otto Gey

ngoba akakwazanga ukulima kuphela

amaseli womuntu ku-vitro, kodwa futhi

usabalalise kwamanye amalebhu.

Babizwa ngokuthi amaseli we-HeLa (we-Henrietta Lacks).

Lo mugqa weseli uthi,

okwamanje,

umugqa ojwayelekile wazo zonke izifundo zomdlavuza

kanye neseli biology eyenziwa kumaseli womuntu.

Ngakho-ke bonke ososayensi basebenza nala maseli,

kusuka emzimbeni kaHenrietta Kushoda.

Bazobe sebenze ukuhlala esikhaleni

ukuthola ukuthi amangqamuzana omuntu angaphila yini lapho amandla adonsela phansi engekho.

Namuhla, inombolo yamanje yamaseli we-HeLa ayatholakala

emhlabeni wonke kudlula inani lamaseli akhona emzimbeni womuntu

(cishe amaseli ayikhulu lama-trillion kumuntu omdala).

Uzoqonda, lawa amaseli we-Henrietta Lacks

asebengabokungafi hhayi yena.

Ngoba uma amaseli akhe ayekhula ngesivinini esigcwele

kumashubhu okuhlola, nawo enza okufanayo emzimbeni wakhe.

UHenrietta ushone ngo-Okthoba 5, 1951 ebulawa ngumdlavuza ojwayelekile.

Kepha le ndaba ayigcini lapho futhi iveza abaningi

imibuzo yokuziphatha eqala ngeqiniso

ukuthi amaseli aqoqwe ekuqaleni

ngaphandle kwemvume yesiguli noma umndeni wakhe.

Ngemuva kwalokho, futhi noma ngabe wonke umuntu angaba nakho

kuleli phuzu impendulo yomuntu uqobo,

umuntu angazibuza ukuthi amaseli athathwe kumuntu,

futhi okuqukethe i-DNA yakhe, okuhlala kungokwakhe ngemuva kokuhlolwa komzimba?

Umbuzo wabuzwa eNkantolo Ephakeme YaseCalifornia

ngubani owahlulela ukuthi lokhu bekungenjalo nokuthi ngalokho

Amaseli kaHenrietta Ukuntuleka angakwazi

zisatshalaliswe ngokukhululekile futhi zimakethwe.



I-herietta enjalo ezosala kimi i-post mortem

nakanjani iyoba le bhulogi

Ukuphela kwento ezohlala ngaphambili

leyo khompyutha ne-intanethi ngokulandelayo kuyafa.



Kunoma ikuphi, uma uzizwa ungangabazi ukwabelana ngale ndatshana

ukugcina le bhulogi iphila, Ngiyabonga ngokungifundela ukwanga okukhulu.
