I agree that the time when Carleton Gajdusek adopts children from New Guinea is important because it shows that Gajdusek is a kind man and is willingly to give back to those who have helped him before. Also, Gajdusek receiving a Nobel Prize in Medicine is important because it shows just how much he has contributed to the medical field. Gajdusek deserved every little bit of recognition he received.
