@hellomuzza Yeah, it's funny. Rebecca mentioned in her book Dr. Gey never profited monetarily from Henrietta's cells. He just gave them all away. Interesting. A lot of people will think that he did if they were told only certain things, without reading Ms. Skloot's book.

@Cogniscent1 i JUST finished reading it 10 minutes ago and its absolutely worth taking the time to read! so many themes from ethics to racism to the struggle for a mother-daughter relationship! i definitely recommend it!

A big thank you to Henrietta Lacks and her family. I've read Skloot's book and came away thinking that all of these people/bio companies that made a profit from Henrietta's cells could still compensate her family without inviting future lawsuits by donating to them anonymously. Further, much as I disagree with Dr. Gey not informing Henrietta or her family about what he was doing, his family, too, should be compensated for the many discoveries his work brought about.

Thank-you Henrietta for your unwitting help to humankind. Praise God.

There is now a book on this, called 'The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks' by Rebecca Skloot, published in the last year or two, which I browsed on a market bookstall a few months ago. I don't know if it's any good, but she certainly chose an intriguing, scientific, human-interest type of tale to tell about human cells about which things I must admit I would not usually give a moment's thought.
