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.

I love being black. I am one with nature

[mellosmoothesista]

I wonder how many cases of skin cancer have they found in black Americans? hmmm...

[WonderWomanFan4life]

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.

@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!

@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.
