Mind-blowing! Un-freak-in-for-get-able!!! Researchers and companies benefited from her cells while Henrietta’s family lived in poverty completely unaware of what happened. It’s deeply upsetting to see how she was treated!!! Her cells changed the world, yet she was never asked, never acknowledged during her life, and her family saw none of the benefits.
Interesting read about the history and ethics of cell research and the family of a woman whose cancer cells have been used extensively in scientific studies.
From my viewpoint, go ahead and use anything you can take from me to further science. My MiRho cells are useless to me when I'm gone, so whatever scientists can use from my gizzards and other assorted innards, have at it, and blast the rest off into space.

I found this book fascinating. I enjoyed learning about the history of cell culture as well as the examination of the ethics of tissue donation and commercialization.
