To honor the life and legacy of Henrietta Lacks, this video highlights her impact on biomedical research and the efforts of Johns Hopkins Medicine to pay homage to her legacy. Learn more at: www.hopkinsmedicine.org/henrie...
Henrietta Lacks was an African-American woman who underwent treatment for an aggressive form of cervical cancer at Johns Hopkins Hospital in 1951. Despite receiving a high standard of medical treatment, Mrs. Lacks ultimately succumbed to this cancer at the young age of 31. However, her extraordinary cells-called “HeLa” from the first two letters of her first and last names-continued to reproduce in the laboratory. This was the first time in history that a human cell line was able to be reproduced in a laboratory setting; and it gave medical researchers the opportunity to improve the human condition by allowing them to better understand, treat, and prevent a wide range of diseases, including the development of the polio vaccine, cancer treatment protocols, AIDS research, and much more.

My science teacher never told us about this! It is so sad that WE never know about the pertinent things that truly affect us. Yea, they didn't tell the universe, but the family should have been told and compensated. that was done with intention. So many time Black people have contributed to this earth with no recognition. Yet blacks are still ostracized. Just like Tuskegee Airmen horrible study.

As others have said, if you want to honor her, pay her family what is owed to them. A lot of money has been made by drug companies and hospitals based on research from those cells and her family should be compensated for the assault on their grandmother. And yes, when you take someone's cells without their knowledge or consent, it is an assault and deserves recompense.

Being part of her treatment at John Hopkins , I don't think they are legally required to pay her but her family should be well compensated because of the Fantastic outcome no. There is no reason why the family is not perpetually compensated it would not be financially unreasonable or financially devastating to the university or government. They throw billions at foreign governments why not just give them millions and acknowledge the contribution.

I may be missing it somewhere but, did anyone EVER say sorry for what they did to Henrietta? She truly is one of the most important people in medicine. If anyone deserves a Nobel Prize in Medicine, she does and her family and descendants deserve, at the very least, free medical care for the rest of their lives.

The Lacks family should be paid reparations for this. They have been extremely gracious from generation to generation, but their family, if properly compensated, should receive no less than a Billion dollars in reparations.

Ridiculous statement. The hospital was helping her freely. Now they try to honor her. People are so materialist. I try to help others and never think they owe me something. It's a shame to even state they should be paid. Whatever happened to doing good for the sake of doing good.

@adrianfigz 5 ай бұрын

@Kathybates1751 Your comment is the one that is absolutely ridiculous. Nothing in life is free. These scientists made trillions from these cells (property that was not theirs). How can you patent Hela cells or any medication that came from Hela calls, when you don't own the cells? So, yes, I think the family is definitely owed billions.

Let's try to keep politics out of it

The hospital can take tissue or blood from a patient to determine treatment. The hospital can not take tissue or blood for profit without consent. It's like you being on life support and the hospital knowing you're going to die. The hospital decides to take your organs and sell them without your consent or your family's consent.

Why would she give consent to them cutting into her a tumor that she didn’t know was cancerous? Why would she give consent to them cutting into her cancerous cells causing them to spread all over her body? It’s because she didn’t give consent!
