“A story that starts small and private, with one woman alone in her bathroom, as she makes a quiet, startling discovery about her own body. But that small, private moment grows and grows, and pretty soon it becomes something so big that it has impacted the life of every person reading this right now… and all that without the woman ever even knowing the impact she had.” (2010 rebroadcast)

@Astro_Jmona I mean...
Would we have Antibiotics if Fleming (and anyone else after him) just threw away their expired bacteria samples and not look at what fungi was growing there?
And it's not as if we can't measure peoples vitals down to their brain activity to produce data.
I think that many people underestimate that.
Hopefully you'll be able to see the final results that your data collection set in motion.
#HenriettaLacks sadly did not.

De cellen van Henrietta Lacks leverden drie Nobelprijzen op, maar zelf wist ze van niets

Ik ben haar, en alle anderen die cellen ter beschikking hebben gesteld, zeer dankbaar! Mooi dat er eindelijk een schikking is met de familie. Een eerbetoon is ook op zijn plaats, bij deze!
What Does the Historic Settlement Won by Henrietta Lacks’s Family Mean for Others?
'In the Lacks case, the family’s lawyers argued that doctors’ failure to ask her permission to use her cancer cells reflected deep-seated racism then pervasive in human research. “The racial inequity which was so eloquently argued in the complaint … really I think carried the day,” Andrews says.'
As lawyers for #HenriettaLacks’ family plan to sue other companies, legal scholars debate the potential for success

The cells of a young Black woman with cervical cancer, taken without permission by Johns Hopkins in 1951 generated much of modern #medicine, including the #polio vaccine. Her family was financially compensated in 2023, 72 years later. #HenriettaLacks https://apnews.com/article/henrietta-lacks-hela-cells-thermo-fisher-scientific-bfba4a6c10396efa34c9b79a544f0729?taid=64c9139ae5eb400001ebd71b
If you haven't read the fantastic book The immortal life of #HenriettaLacks (by Rebecca Skloots) now is a good time! Great news for the family after decades of legal battles.
