RE: Henrietta Lacks immortal cells

in #history7 years ago

This is such an interesting story! It's amazing that a breakthrough so impactful could be kept a secret from the family. I agree that they deserve financial compensation, but also the recognition of their family legacy! What a sense of pride that would have given the family over generations to realize the medical advancements that their family had helped provide to countless families.

Yes it's only right that they are compensated, I mean the HeLa cells are still being used til this day.

I completely agree
