Remembering Henrietta Lacks, whose unique immortal cells were harvested without her knowledge, consent, or compensation and used for countless medical breakthroughs, from the polio vaccine to cancer research and IVF and are still being used today...
These kinds of stories sicken and sadden me. Black folks have always been treated like guinea pigs but praise to this sister who unknowingly gave her life to spare the life of so many.

the torture we have endure
Exploitation of a Nation. The body, mind and soul. Shhhhh. Everything is ok here.
EVIL!!!!! It just never ends!
Her story was so sad. I read the book “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” and they did her terrible. I wonder if the movie was any good?
Outside of the cancer, they gave her everything else she was diagnosed with.
