Simon: "So vigorous were Henrietta Lacks' cells that if even ONE made its way into a cell culture, it would out divide and replace the original cells overnight. Like a virus, HeLa had hopped from laboratory to laboratory and culture to culture - invading and conquering until there was nothing else left" Also Simon (probably): I will adapt this strategy for my KZbin Empire!

A quick correction about the Tuskegee syphilis experiment: the men were already infected, but they were given placebos instead of proper medical care (they were told they were getting actual medical care) and when it was discovered that penicillin cures it, the doctors never gave it. Either way the net result is over 100 men dying when they didn't have to, but we must always be sure we're totally accurate when exposing this kind of abuse.

Having been raised by Robert A. Heinlein's scifi stories (he was a "father figure" to me in the 80s), I remember reading a story, I think it was Methuselah's Children. In the medical department on a starship, they had a huge culture of endlessly dividing chicken cells originally from one hen, which they called "Mrs. 'Awkins". I thought that was fascinating. Only decades later did I find out where that idea came from.

Why hasn't Dr. Gay received the Nobel Prize for his work? He and his wife spent years, and a considerable amount of their own money, to test thousands of tissue samples. The book said their apartment was filled with petri dishes. HeLa cells have benefitted every single person reading this. HeLa cells and the questions surrounding them are why you have to sign some extra forms every time you have a surgery. It is also why samples are no longer named after the person who donated them; to prevent these kinds of lawsuits.

Agreed. She was disenfranchised and her bodily autonomy was abused by the medical community. In medical school they do not show ethical standards of informing their students about who she was and have reduced her to 'HeLa'. She and her family never were notified that they were using her cells for decades for research purposes and never compensated. Her cancer treatment at John Hopkins was shameful and almost non existent. The fact that the medical community had the audacity to track down her living family to collect more cells from them under false pretense in the hopes of recreating her cells is disgraceful. She should be acknowledged in the medical and scientific community and her family are owed retribution and financial compensation.

@ Are they doing it for free or do they get a small profit? Then I agree with you. When they make multi million dollar profits from your discarded cells they should share some with you. Not suggesting anything like 50/50 but more like maybe 1%. Also, your recycling argument is a strawman argument. "Her family didn't do anything to deserve help"? Where did they get the sample from? That's like saying just because an oil company discovered oil on your property they should only pay you the value of your property to drill for that oil, you did nothing to deserve any additional payment.

@ Bad analogy. In some states, it's illegal to steal people's trash. It's still private property until it is collected. It is a well know fact that in US history, institutions have never thought twice about stealing from black and indigenous people, be it land or cells. It's not a coincidence or random in any way that these cells came from a Black woman. They would have never done the same thing with cells from a white person without explicit permission from the family and would have most likely worked out some sort of trivial compensation, or at the very least made sure people were well aware of where the cells came from.

@@ColbyWanShinobi are you not aware that your analogy proves your point wrong? How are you all struggling so hard to understand this? It's not difficult. No one snuck into her house and twirled their mustache while hacking her open to steal her organs. In your analogy the trash was already 'collected.' Your assertion is also unfounded and asinine that this 'wouldn't have happened to a white person.' It literally did. Did you miss the part where the cells from her tumor biopsy were just one sample from thousands of similar samples the researchers tested? This thing you are so dead set on believing was some special atrocious circumstance is the most mundane and run if the mill way that medical research operates. You're wanting so badly for there to be something here to fit your narrative and you have no grasp on medical research. This is like you calling glass bottles recycling an atrocity. If biological waste could be useful for a researcher they can apply to have it, because when it's just going to be incinerated along with the rest of the trash and someone can maybe use it to advance medicine why not.

Medical researchers, while performing an invaluable service for humanity, are notorious for jealously guarding their research and being interested as much (if not more) in the fame and acclaim they will receive, and frequently see all life other than their own as something lesser and only existing for their use. Unsurprising that they offered not even a word of gratitude to Henrietta Lacks or her family - would they thank a rabbit's mom? she was no more than that to them. That being said, while legally I would consider removed parts/discarded samples as medical waste, open to use in any way by the medical establishment, I also believe that patients should be informed/required to give informed consent prior to procedures that could lead to their body parts/fluids being used in medical experiments, and in the same way that, if someone let you cut in line before them to buy a lottery ticket and you won a million dollars, it would only be decent for you to give them a grand or so, as their action led to your success, researchers should reward the patient.

I don't think that lady was really mistreated, she got free medical care of good quality for its time and some of her tumor that had to be biopsied anyway was plated and attempted to be grown like a bacteria don't see the damage done, if part of my dieing body was harmlessly used to same millions I would not be upset.

Let's work this out... on the point of discarded cells being the property of the individual. Are we talking only certain cells? Ones the make money? Or all the cells that are discarded from the body? If it's all the cells, then I ask you to please keep your dead skins cells off my property or I will charge you with trespassing.. 😉 Air movements will cause your hair and skin to deposit EVERYWHERE. On the point of a lab taking ownership of the cells. Should they acknowledge the donor's name yes. Should they be liable to pay a donor billions, should those cells be viable for something. No. The company spent the time and money to research an issue and the cells were just an avenue for testing out a theory. Should a company pay an individual for cloning cells 🤔. No, again time and money was spent to accomplish the task. Now, if the donor also took stock in the lab. "I'll give you my cells, and if you make money I want a percentage " . Then yes, you should be paid. My father donated himself to science. As one of his child, should he help cure cancer permanently, do I want a cut? No. All I want is the acknowledgement that his cells helped. On a side note, the university gave our family enough money to cover the cost of his funeral when they were done with him. In my perspective; my dad gave himself to allow someone to learn something that could one day cure someone. Do I expect to be paid. No, because I did nothing to facilitate the process.
