How to right a long-standing wrong for the unconsented use of the cervical cancer cells of Henrietta Lacks for medical research.
How to right a long-standing wrong for the unconsented use in 1951 at John Hopkins Hospital of the cervical cancer cells of Henrietta Lacks for medical research.
How to right a long-standing wrong for the unconsented use in 1951 at John Hopkins Hospital—one of the few hospitals that then admitted African American patients—of the cervical cancer cells of Henrietta Lacks for medical research.
How to right a long-standing wrong for the unconsented use in 1951 at John Hopkins Hospital—one of the few hospitals that then admitted African American patients—of the cervical cancer cells of Henrietta Lacks for medical research which became known as the HeLa cells.
How to right a long-standing wrong for the unconsented use in 1951 (the year Lacks died) at John Hopkins Hospital—one of the few hospitals that then admitted African American patients—of the cervical cancer cells of Henrietta Lacks for medical research which became known as the HeLa cells: the first cell line to be immortalised.
How to right a long-standing wrong for the unconsented use in 1951 (the year Lacks died at 31) at John Hopkins Hospital—one of the few hospitals that then admitted African American patients—of the cervical cancer cells of working-class Henrietta Lacks for medical research which became known as the HeLa cells: the first cell line to be immortalised; the first cell line to grow well in a laboratory.
How to right a long-standing wrong for the unconsented use in 1951 (the year Lacks died at 31) at John Hopkins Hospital—one of the few hospitals that then admitted African American patients—of the cervical cancer cells of working-class Henrietta Lacks for medical research which became known as the HeLa cells: the first cell line to be immortalised; the first cell line to grow well in a laboratory; cells that were sequenced as genome data in 2013 initially without the consent of Henrietta Lacks’ descendants.
How to right a long-standing wrong for the unconsented use in 1951 (the year Lacks, with five young children, died at 31) at John Hopkins Hospital—one of the few hospitals that then admitted African American patients—of the cervical cancer cells of working-class Henrietta Lacks for medical research which became known as the HeLa cells: the first cell line to be immortalised; the first cell line to grow well in a laboratory; cells that were sequenced as genome data in 2013 initially without the consent of Henrietta Lacks’ descendants; cells whose combined mass would weigh in excess of fifty million tonnes.*
