amazing how they make it seem like blacks are the sickests, fattests, and unhealthiest on the planet. seems like to me its the other way around. our dna should not even be measured with nor by theirs. we need our own scales and measurements based on us.
This film raised some questions in my mind. One of the most glaring is the statement that she's descended from Benjamin LACKS, a slave-holder. But LACKS is her husband's name and her's is PLEASANT. So, what other errors exist?
I e-mailed the producer at the BBC to ask about this, but haven't gotten a response as yet.
She could also be said to be descended from teh lacks line. Her husband was her first cousin. Her mothers, father (grandfather) was Lacks. What I haven't seen yet is how she became Henrietta when she was born Loretta
Could these stars turn out to raise money to get Mrs. Lacks a head stone. Those scientists need to be ashamed of themselves, and their cock sure attitudes.
Some time this year, a head stone was placed on her grave in Virginia after her family was able to locate her unmarked grave. I believe it came from an anonymous donor.

@grlykool Yep, they ought to be ashamed of themselves. The degredation and ignorance of these racist pigs who continue to abuse and degrad us yet they harvest us like animals. As if we're food. They act like we're so diseased and flaw when we are actually saving their pathetic lives.
@filmtress The doctor in question wasn't being racist; it was usual for doctors to take samples from pacients and use them as they wished. Or so I heard. I was reading wikipedia of course, so I could be wrong.
@MrColuber Yeah, you're wrong. Wikipedia is unreliable. It can be manipulated by anyone who choses to alter it. Use some real scholarship. Read "Medical Apartheid - The Dark History of Medical Experimentation on Black Americans from Colonial Times to the Present" by Harriet A. Washington.
Universities such as Duke, Pennsyvannia, Alabama, Yale, and Johns Hopkins are very guilty of years and years of testing and experiementing on us. They should get whatever they dished out!
this is mad!!, does it mean that black cells are stronger?? or is it beacuse all peoples come from black, so if a black person gets cancer then its latches on to any other cell(white)???
I love being black. I am one with nature

I read at the Baltimore newspaper article site (I think) that the family prefers to leave her grave unmarked.
They are concerned about grave tampering. Probably a little over-reacting, but with the way they've treated...
