This is one of the most heartbreaking things I've watched in a long time. I'm only 10 minutes in and already my blood is boiling. For those that say her family shouldn't be compensated - CLINICAL TRIALS where people are paid for their contribution. This was an UNAUTHORIZED harvesting of her body while she was alive and even in death. It's beyond sickening that she saved so many lives around the world yet her story is only revealed half a century later.
It was 1951. Back then, they didn't consider things like asking permission for taking a sample of cells, no matter from whom the cells were taken. If you read The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot, there's also a story of a white man in the 70s who had his cancer cells used, and a doctor was even charging him to return to the clinic for years. The doctor implied that it was for the man's health, to make sure the cancer wasn't returning, but the doctor was actually making money off of the man's cells and taking blood and tissue samples for further research. When the man found out, he sued, and HE LOST. Things have changed even from the 1970s.

OMG I’M OVER 40 they DID NOT murder her for her cells, yes they took them without her consent and didn’t tell the family, but they did treat her all the way up until her death.
DeAnna McCrimmon How do you know? Where you there? Can you vouch for your statement? I know that you are a loving and respectable person. So it’s difficult for you to imagine people doing something so evil. But the US government and doctors have done worse than this. And if you really knew your history, then you would understand.
This is sad they treated Ms. Henrietta deceased body like it was a lab rat and without notify her family of what they were doing, that's some wicked stuff 🤨.
The doctor that started the HeLa cell line ALWAYS used the first two letters of a name for the cells of a patient that were grown in the lab. He wasn't worried about being sued because they just didn't think anyone would worry about a clump of tumor cells that would have gone into the trash otherwise. He gave away cells for free to any researcher that wanted them. THAT doctor didn't make money off of the cells.
And, it WAS 1951. They just didn't think to ask consent to use a clump of tumor cells back then. If you read the book, this has happened to people, no matter of race, for decades until consent laws came about. Even in the 1970s, there was a white man who tried to sue his doctor for using his cells for profit, and even had the man flying back to the clinic every year for tests, making him think it was for his health, rather than for the doctor's profit. That patient lost the law suit.
Brenton Webb ...everything these ppl do in the dark, has finally come to light. He knew what he was doing was illegal...taking her cells while she was still alive. And changing the name.
beautifuljoe1313 so I'm guessing u didn't watch the video huh, it states he purposely changed the name out of a fear of being sued so wat r u talking about??
William Sparks Helllllll yeah! I think it's would blow our minds if we knew an the monetary value of ALL the thousands of advances, treatments and knowledge Mrs.Lacks cells have provided science and medicine in the 65 years since she passed away.
I read the book The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks many years ago way before the Oprah movie and talks about it and it's one of the best books I ever read. It has haunted me. Her story is so sad yet incredible. She needs to be in history books. Science books etc. Her family is owed so much. Rip Henrietta! Without her this world would not be where it is today.
On October 11,2021 the Lacks descendants filed suit against a biotech company who had been selling HeLa cells for years. The family doesn't believe they will get a monetary settlement but what they are truly looking for is for Henrietta to take her place in the history of medical science where she belongs. I personally feel they deserve a monetary settlement as well. Oct. 11 is the 70th anniversary of her death. Rest peacefully, Henrietta,
+Ashmedai Iii I cannot stress enough how ridiculous I find honoring a dead woman's purple cancerous tumor.. She got an honorary degree, is in a "special and amazing women museum", the Smithsonian, and countless other honors but the thousands of lab-techs and doctors are rarely mentioned for their thousands of hours of work and education.. 90% of us have had our DNA sampled in our everyday lives by medical professionals, and it isn't considered theft or an act of sacrifice. . And to say that she or ANYONE should be payed money for cures, vaccines and the progression of medical science based on samples of their DNA/RNA is not only impractical it is sort of disgusting and uncivilized..
Cliff Yablonski listen to your self😂😂😂 I wonder how people like you live, so much hate over us✊🏽✊🏽 soon you will be where you belong you fuckin pig🖕🏿🖕🏿
I just thought about something is this why they into organ harvesting from black ppl didnt think about it until now .she has been gone since 1951 and her cells are living on .
Cliff Yablonski because of the fact that her cells were used in a way without her knowledge or consent! And you’re saying if you were in Henrietta’s shoes dead or alive you wouldn’t have at the very least have your family line to have benefited from this discovery? The only reason these scientists spent millions on research was purely for their own gain and benefit. They profited off of something that was never theirs to begin with. Henrietta could’ve made billions if not trillions for herself and her family down the line had she been informed as she should have!
You are correct and some of the racist right wing Trump supporters would just love to do the same thing again. Those same people are trying their best to take away black voters. Those racist hateful people know blacks are not going to vote for Trump in 2024.
I first learned of Henrietta Lacks in college . I think it's a shame that you wont learn about her in High School. For those of us on this blog who are college educated, do you ever wonder why they lie to us (By omission) in high school?
I never knew about this lady,this is extraordinary this black lady cells has been continuously growing ever since her death and her family hasn't been given a dime from none of the research that has been done on Miss Henrietta Lacks cells since the day of her death this lady cell's is all over the world every corner of the world
Multi billion? No one would even give them a million. Even so, the hospital had a routine procedure of taking cancer cells out of patients, which is consent. If this was a Caucasian woman, would you still be willing to give out the money?
I still believe some sort of compensation for the family would have been the right thing to do, considering they were deceived from the get go. Hell, she should have her own day of recognition State wide for her contribution to the country.
There were some morally reprehensible uses of HeLa cells as well. Sloan Kettering immunologist Chester Southam wanted to see if the cells could infect other humans. He started with patients who already had cancer, injecting HeLa cells in their arms. The cells grew into tumors. The tumors were removed, but in several cases, they grew back. In one case Henrietta’s cancer metastasized to the patient’s lymph nodes. The same experiment was tried with volunteers from an Ohio prison. Once again, tumors grew in the prisoner’s arms. In this case, though, the prisoner’s healthy immune systems eventually fought off and rejected the HeLa cells. By the end of his research, Southam had injected over 600 people with HeLa. Many of these people were gynecological surgery patients at hospitals where he worked. The patients had never given consent to be injected. For this, he was eventually brought up on charges of fraud, deceit, and unprofessional conduct. In 1963, The Regents of the University of the State of New York found him guilty, and he was placed on medical probation for one year. from the Immortal Cells of Henrietta Lacks
If it is the south they already have African dna. Steve cobbs that eternal idiot had like 14 percent subsaharan African in him and he thought he was going to make a " white" only colony. And alot of the folks that consider themselves Moorish sovereign citizens or think "white" people should kneel to them are 25 percent Irish or something. I was adopted in Texas in 79 and until I was 37 I honestly thought I was part of this mess we have in the south too, but as it turns out I wasn't. I don't come from parents that were here long enough to rape anyone or inslave anyone or to mix with anyone and the mix I ended up being pretty much just makes me a recreation of an icini celt. So basically I think bigotry of any kind is really retarded and I will not stand by and watch anyone do it to anyone else. I can't stop the meaness or cruelty of the entire planet but I can say no one has my permission to use the term mother f er because that is a derigotory action, I can say that I will not allow anyone around me to steal from anyone else. I am not fond of white men, but I must say the only black men that have been moral and upright around me have either been married to good women or let God run their lives. So I think the best policy is to try to give every person the benifit of the doubt unless they are male and then they have to prove they are human first and then just just judge people by the content of their character.
It makes me Angry that the word racism and racist has lost the real. true meaning. it is used so wild no one knows what it actually means anymore i even don't know what it means anymore
The Immortal Life Of Henrietta Lacks HBO Movie brought me here, so did Kendrick Lamar's DNA music video as we should all know the importance of our DNA
Question do you ever wonder what doctors do with your blood after they draw it out your arm do they wash it down the drain or run test on it for years. ...
As now we know about the HeLa cells and what it has done for the world, the Lax family should be well compensating for there mother or grandma or all survivable members of the Lax clan,.
Cliff Yablonski bet of it was your mother grandmother relative how fast you would want to be compensated but cause she is a African descendant your a hater
They recieved a gift from this woman and yet they decided to be racist about it. Yet her family recieves nothing from these devils. I swear ine day thede people will face the creator
In High school I learned about her and it killed me today that humans have always used the blacks and the less privilege for their sick selfish gain. Seeing this again and that movie that came out about her upset me to the core. Jesus while did u bring us into this world to be treated like like? Please do not bring me or my love ones back to go through this again. Please I'm begging you. I can only imagine what people went through during slavery days... 😢
After she died. They took her daughter away to an insane asylum to experiment on her. She died a horrible death at fifteen. So disturbing and sad. A beautiful child.
the her daughter Elsie wasn't a state Institution, you need to educate yourself before you just start making up facts. LC was committed to the hospital because henrietta was ill and could not take care of a child that needed the type of attention elsie needed and also take care of her other 4 children and the home. Henrietta went out there quite often to visit Elsie. did some terrible things happen to people who were in those type of Institutions . yes sadly they did and Elsie was probably one of those. but get your facts straight. check out The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca skloot from the library it also comes in audio books. one of the things that we have to do in this case, is to not spread more lies. The whole book was about uncovering the truth. and for you not to spread falsehoods because it helps further some kind of hateful agenda you might have comma is kind of doing a disservice to the whole thing including Henrietta and Elsie. learn the truth and then speak the truth.
@@mckenna8663 so why hasnt her family been compensated for the billions that the medical world has profited and misused as well? Hateful agenda? Just shut up you devil.
People don't understand being racist and not giving this woman the proper respect by not acknowledging her and telling her family and possibly compensating her estate wich we should agree, in the beginning could possibly be the reason why there is no cure for cancer ,and understand there's no right way to do something wrong.
Do you see how nice black people are despite how the media portrays them. You take the cells of their family work on it unbeknownst to them, don't compensate them for and then they give up more blood to help. All they ask for is recognition and they can't even get that.
So basically they spread Cancer, and didn’t know it. Then the cancers started mutating and taking on different names, in different parts of the body.😩😩😩😩😩😩
After using her cells for research, they were still able to obtain additional blood samples from the family? Did they know what the intent was in acquiring these additional samples and how they would be used? How have the samples been used since then ?
Where are they getting the information for this video? Some of it is in direct contradiction to the book, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot. Skloot interviewed the family and as many surviving doctors and technicians as she could. The doctor didn't give the cells a code name for fear of being sued. He used the first two initials of the names for ALL of the cells from patients that were sampled, and he tried for 20 years to grow "immortal" cell lines. It was 1951, they didn't think about asking for consent from ANY patient for taking cells from tissue that would otherwise be discarded from surgery.
So they just have no idea why the cells are like this? Every source seems to say that HPV caused major mutations in her uterus cells and they became cancerous, but like how? How often does HPV create human cells that are bright purple with 80 chromosomes? Has there ever been more cells like (or at least extremely similar) this found in a human? Not just other immortal lines but ones that are as hardy and as prolific as HeLa cells?
The cells won't give up their secret because of the way they were treated. Cells respond to thought, speech, behavior, emotions, etc. Hopefully one Intelligent scientist will give HeLA the Love and Respect required and they will offer up their secret.
SO PAY THIS FAMILY! THE DOCTORS ASSISTENT EVEN ADMITTED THAT HE SENT HER TO REMOVE CELLS FROM THE CORPSE! WHY ISN'T THIS FAMILY BILLIONAIRES BY NOW, BECAUSE SOMEONE IS GETTING RICH OFF THIS LADY'S CELLS.
Amazing documentary, but please change the click bait headline. Really interesting to anyone who has read "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks." Explains the story in a different way.
What a strange paradox.....Henrietta was killed by her own cells which are actually immortal......I have heard that Cancer does not kill by its mere existence....rather it kills by invading functioning organs in the body...pushing them to one side, consuming them and replacing them with its own alien growth.....Has anyone studied the genomes of cancer cells or tumours themselves? Do cancer cells even have their own particular DNA or genome map? Probably.....but this fascinating video has made me think....Thanks for the upload....
This is seriously fucked up! The family should have been asked before anything was ever stolen from her. I understand that scientists have made breakthroughs with this research but ethically this was done by theft. The family may have consented if they had been asked first. Disgraceful! The disrespect shown of Henriettas body after death was also appalling.
It’s funny how October 11 is also my birthday. Don’t expect prosperity from anyone who is deserving without giving them courage and support. Even a simple thank you is all it takes for a break through. And I believe we still have a chance...Frank Kigozi
The narrator has done something else I watched. Maybe a British documentary on JFK assassination. Got a great voice for mysterious stuff. Wish a better version was available
Read her book. Tells you everything. And without the author, her life and family wouldn't be known. I am pretty sure it says in the book that her family got benefits from this. And Henrietta was a poor, black woman who was taken advantage by a white doctor, who took her cells without her knowledge and consent because she needed help.
Sick/Evil man could have just been open and honest and compensated the family. They wouldn't have objected or required the colossal amount they deserved.

@Cliff Yablonski typical pig response
OMG I’M OVER 40 they DID NOT murder her for her cells, yes they took them without her consent and didn’t tell the family, but they did treat her all the way up until her death.
DeAnna McCrimmon How do you know? Where you there? Can you vouch for your statement? I know that you are a loving and respectable person. So it’s difficult for you to imagine people doing something so evil. But the US government and doctors have done worse than this. And if you really knew your history, then you would understand.
@@deannamccrimmon7805 Please. Spare us your childish naivety... 😒
This is sad they treated Ms. Henrietta deceased body like it was a lab rat and without notify her family of what they were doing, that's some wicked stuff 🤨.
But now she's effectively immortal. Her cell line still goes on
Helen Lane? so he wouldn't be sued. So he knew then they should be compensated
The doctor that started the HeLa cell line ALWAYS used the first two letters of a name for the cells of a patient that were grown in the lab. He wasn't worried about being sued because they just didn't think anyone would worry about a clump of tumor cells that would have gone into the trash otherwise. He gave away cells for free to any researcher that wanted them. THAT doctor didn't make money off of the cells.
And, it WAS 1951. They just didn't think to ask consent to use a clump of tumor cells back then. If you read the book, this has happened to people, no matter of race, for decades until consent laws came about. Even in the 1970s, there was a white man who tried to sue his doctor for using his cells for profit, and even had the man flying back to the clinic every year for tests, making him think it was for his health, rather than for the doctor's profit. That patient lost the law suit.
Brenton Webb ...everything these ppl do in the dark, has finally come to light. He knew what he was doing was illegal...taking her cells while she was still alive. And changing the name.
beautifuljoe1313 so I'm guessing u didn't watch the video huh, it states he purposely changed the name out of a fear of being sued so wat r u talking about??
@@beautifuljoe1313 you definitely didn't watch the video. He was worried he would get sued that's why he changed the name. 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
i think her family should have some money out of it all
William Sparks Helllllll yeah! I think it's would blow our minds if we knew an the monetary value of ALL the thousands of advances, treatments and knowledge Mrs.Lacks cells have provided science and medicine in the 65 years since she passed away.
+cushmoor you go girl yess....... tell it all
Thank you Henrietta Lacks!!! Child of the Light.🙏🏾
I read the book The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks many years ago way before the Oprah movie and talks about it and it's one of the best books I ever read. It has haunted me. Her story is so sad yet incredible. She needs to be in history books. Science books etc. Her family is owed so much. Rip Henrietta! Without her this world would not be where it is today.
AMEN AMEN AMEN
On October 11,2021 the Lacks descendants filed suit against a biotech company who had been selling HeLa cells for years. The family doesn't believe they will get a monetary settlement but what they are truly looking for is for Henrietta to take her place in the history of medical science where she belongs. I personally feel they deserve a monetary settlement as well. Oct. 11 is the 70th anniversary of her death. Rest peacefully, Henrietta,
We owe so much to Ms. Lacks, I wish this would be honored.
+Ashmedai Iii I cannot stress enough how ridiculous I find honoring a dead woman's purple cancerous tumor.. She got an honorary degree, is in a "special and amazing women museum", the Smithsonian, and countless other honors but the thousands of lab-techs and doctors are rarely mentioned for their thousands of hours of work and education.. 90% of us have had our DNA sampled in our everyday lives by medical professionals, and it isn't considered theft or an act of sacrifice. . And to say that she or ANYONE should be payed money for cures, vaccines and the progression of medical science based on samples of their DNA/RNA is not only impractical it is sort of disgusting and uncivilized..
Mendax Venandi People like you are a fucking problem. So quick to undermine and judge for the sake of whitewashing.
one of the most powerful woman ever in medical history she and her family deserve every penny! She's saved thousands of lives!
Cliff Yablonski listen to your self😂😂😂 I wonder how people like you live, so much hate over us✊🏽✊🏽 soon you will be where you belong you fuckin pig🖕🏿🖕🏿
Shame on you!
Cliff Yablonski her cells contributed it dumbass w/o them the research wouldn’t exist
People still don't realize that no matter what race this lady was her cells have saved mankind in some way shape of form
She saved millions still doing it till today.
The family is owed a lot of money so wrong for what they did to her
I just thought about something is this why they into organ harvesting from black ppl didnt think about it until now .she has been gone since 1951 and her cells are living on .
discolady2 YES THATS EXACTLY WHY!
her _cancerous cells_ are living on. What has that got to do with organ harvesting?
Cliff Yablonski because of the fact that her cells were used in a way without her knowledge or consent! And you’re saying if you were in Henrietta’s shoes dead or alive you wouldn’t have at the very least have your family line to have benefited from this discovery? The only reason these scientists spent millions on research was purely for their own gain and benefit. They profited off of something that was never theirs to begin with. Henrietta could’ve made billions if not trillions for herself and her family down the line had she been informed as she should have!
Organ Harvesting
not only that but there were black exploreres that sailed the ocean before christopher columbus and found the new world before him
I cry for people who are Black.. So many things taken from them, and done to them that no moral decent person could have done.
AND WE ARE STILL HERE!!
You are correct and some of the racist right wing Trump supporters would just love to do the same thing again. Those same people are trying their best to take away black voters. Those racist hateful people know blacks are not going to vote for Trump in 2024.
I first learned of Henrietta Lacks in college . I think it's a shame that you wont learn about her in High School. For those of us on this blog who are college educated, do you ever wonder why they lie to us (By omission) in high school?
There’s a book called Lies My Teacher Told Me I enjoyed.
I never knew about this lady,this is extraordinary this black lady cells has been continuously growing ever since her death and her family hasn't been given a dime from none of the research that has been done on Miss Henrietta Lacks cells since the day of her death this lady cell's is all over the world every corner of the world
This is insanity!
The Lacks family should get a multi billion dollar compensation .#yesterday.
Lana J Beyond That Any Where Her Cells Go They Should Be Compensated And Have The Say So Of.
Yep...plus every book or movie in her name as well. She is owed it. A life as a slave and then this? Her family definitely deserves everything.
@@ZoraNH.dusttracks1891 Henrietta Lacks was not a slave. This was the 20th century. Please pay attention instead of going straight to the comments.
Multi billion? No one would even give them a million. Even so, the hospital had a routine procedure of taking cancer cells out of patients, which is consent. If this was a Caucasian woman, would you still be willing to give out the money?
@@mainkilla Nobility doesn't get rid of the fact that this was routine procedure
She is the mother of modern medicine. We owe so much to her
I still believe some sort of compensation for the family would have been the right thing to do, considering they were deceived from the get go. Hell, she should have her own day of recognition State wide for her contribution to the country.
Worldwide!!!!
Makes me wonder if they’ve been injected cancer into other people unknowingly and without consent
SeeMyBlessings Hallelujah duh of course they do it every day
There were some morally reprehensible uses of HeLa cells as well. Sloan Kettering immunologist Chester Southam wanted to see if the cells could infect other humans. He started with patients who already had cancer, injecting HeLa cells in their arms. The cells grew into tumors. The tumors were removed, but in several cases, they grew back. In one case Henrietta’s cancer metastasized to the patient’s lymph nodes. The same experiment was tried with volunteers from an Ohio prison. Once again, tumors grew in the prisoner’s arms. In this case, though, the prisoner’s healthy immune systems eventually fought off and rejected the HeLa cells.
By the end of his research, Southam had injected over 600 people with HeLa. Many of these people were gynecological surgery patients at hospitals where he worked. The patients had never given consent to be injected. For this, he was eventually brought up on charges of fraud, deceit, and unprofessional conduct. In 1963, The Regents of the University of the State of New York found him guilty, and he was placed on medical probation for one year. from the Immortal Cells of Henrietta Lacks
in other words yes they have!
Remarkable woman that she was
Wow
0 1
DMMcGregor. you only further prove our point...
Her family is owed royalties for the cells/DNA of Henrietta Lacks.
THE BLCK WOMAN IS THE ORIGINAL MITOCHONDRIAL, EVE GENE, GOD.
Can you imagine the things that have been stolen for our people?
All our left socks. :V
Dianne615 it's scary....
Dr shouldve been sued or his family, he lied
Wonder what the prisoner would have did if they found out they were injected wit black cell, LOL?
Dianne615 and the cells put in makeup! 😂
If it is the south they already have African dna. Steve cobbs that eternal idiot had like 14 percent subsaharan African in him and he thought he was going to make a " white" only colony. And alot of the folks that consider themselves Moorish sovereign citizens or think "white" people should kneel to them are 25 percent Irish or something. I was adopted in Texas in 79 and until I was 37 I honestly thought I was part of this mess we have in the south too, but as it turns out I wasn't. I don't come from parents that were here long enough to rape anyone or inslave anyone or to mix with anyone and the mix I ended up being pretty much just makes me a recreation of an icini celt. So basically I think bigotry of any kind is really retarded and I will not stand by and watch anyone do it to anyone else. I can't stop the meaness or cruelty of the entire planet but I can say no one has my permission to use the term mother f er because that is a derigotory action, I can say that I will not allow anyone around me to steal from anyone else. I am not fond of white men, but I must say the only black men that have been moral and upright around me have either been married to good women or let God run their lives. So I think the best policy is to try to give every person the benifit of the doubt unless they are male and then they have to prove they are human first and then just just judge people by the content of their character.
It makes me Angry that the word racism and racist has lost the real. true meaning. it is used so wild no one knows what it actually means anymore i even don't know what it means anymore
Raven Gore I don’t like to comment anymore because of the same reason especially after reading all these comments!🤯
This lady’s name should be on every teachers list of approved Black History Reports
The Immortal Life Of Henrietta Lacks HBO Movie brought me here, so did Kendrick Lamar's DNA music video as we should all know the importance of our DNA
Question do you ever wonder what doctors do with your blood after they draw it out your arm
do they wash it down the drain or run test on it for years. ...
My first thought!
Same with DNA samples.
Henrietta is absolutely beautiful! I hope that the cancer of racism would die forever from all sides!
Stay woke.
Watching this made me think of Get Out which made me think of Redbone.
Yea, me too
C18 i
C18 You should always think like that
Exactly! People slept on that movie out of ignorance!
If was a lawyer I would contact the family and sue hell out of the government.
As now we know about the HeLa cells and what it has done for the world, the Lax family should be well compensating for there mother or grandma or all survivable members of the Lax clan,.
Because _everyone else did_ . At the very least, her family should get something for Henrietta Lacks providing those valuable cells. Dummy.
Begone, you troll, Yablonski!
Cliff Yablonski bet of it was your mother grandmother relative how fast you would want to be compensated but cause she is a African descendant your a hater
They recieved a gift from this woman and yet they decided to be racist about it. Yet her family recieves nothing from these devils. I swear ine day thede people will face the creator
In High school I learned about her and it killed me today that humans have always used the blacks and the less privilege for their sick selfish gain. Seeing this again and that movie that came out about her upset me to the core. Jesus while did u bring us into this world to be treated like like? Please do not bring me or my love ones back to go through this again. Please I'm begging you. I can only imagine what people went through during slavery days... 😢
These people did all sorts of egregious acts....no sense of ethical behavior.
After she died. They took her daughter away to an insane asylum to experiment on her. She died a horrible death at fifteen. So disturbing and sad. A beautiful child.
the her daughter Elsie wasn't a state Institution, you need to educate yourself before you just start making up facts. LC was committed to the hospital because henrietta was ill and could not take care of a child that needed the type of attention elsie needed and also take care of her other 4 children and the home. Henrietta went out there quite often to visit Elsie. did some terrible things happen to people who were in those type of Institutions . yes sadly they did and Elsie was probably one of those.
but get your facts straight. check out The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca skloot from the library it also comes in audio books. one of the things that we have to do in this case, is to not spread more lies. The whole book was about uncovering the truth. and for you not to spread falsehoods because it helps further some kind of hateful agenda you might have comma is kind of doing a disservice to the whole thing including Henrietta and Elsie. learn the truth and then speak the truth.
Boy are you WAAAY OFF!!! Please do more research!!!
>Makes up some bullshit
John Smith Whoa! There is no limit
@@mckenna8663 so why hasnt her family been compensated for the billions that the medical world has profited and misused as well? Hateful agenda? Just shut up you devil.
This is the power of all Melanated cells, the power of all black people. "HeLa" is a code word for the cells of all black people.
She was stunningly beautiful!
So much for being a superior race
People don't understand being racist and not giving this woman the proper respect by not acknowledging her and telling her family and possibly compensating her estate wich we should agree, in the beginning could possibly be the reason why there is no cure for cancer ,and understand there's no right way to do something wrong.
Do you see how nice black people are despite how the media portrays them. You take the cells of their family work on it unbeknownst to them, don't compensate them for and then they give up more blood to help. All they ask for is recognition and they can't even get that.
Everytime i here cancer I can scream.. what about the fact that everybody came from us this is about a cover up not cancer... plain and simple
All this amazing contribution and still a black person is still looked under! Somethings will never change!
O livro que nenhum estudante de medicina deveria deixar de ler, em especial se for escolher a especilidade de ginecologia. Excelente.
This is an amazing story!
Very interesting documentary.....
So basically they spread Cancer, and didn’t know it. Then the cancers started mutating and taking on different names, in different parts of the body.😩😩😩😩😩😩
Sounds like COVID huh
She gave yall aliens life frfr🔥🔥🔥💪🏾💯
they should sue the bio technology industry individually
The "business" of cancer
Indeed human intended to live not die..that's what in the bible said and ever ever lasting life..
Learned about Henrietta in Anatomy today it's so sad she was 31 and her family didn't get any money.
After using her cells for research, they were still able to obtain additional blood samples from the family? Did they know what the intent was in acquiring these additional samples and how they would be used? How have the samples been used since then ?
The family thought that it was going to be used to see if they had the cancer that killed Henrietta. They did not know the true intent.
wolflove12345678910 Wow, honesty and transparency would have been good
They're probably using their blood cells now without them knowing. Selfish, sick and evil.
aGwEENapple I can relate
Gween they aren't, but bad theory
They speak of her as if she was a piece of meat and not a human being who died at the young age of 31! 8:25 is just so heartless to hear!
Sick disgusting disrespectful preposterous
Another lie: man did not go to the moon
Her family deserves to be given a constant income.
Oct .11 , Henrietta Lacks Day !!
Where are they getting the information for this video? Some of it is in direct contradiction to the book, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot. Skloot interviewed the family and as many surviving doctors and technicians as she could. The doctor didn't give the cells a code name for fear of being sued. He used the first two initials of the names for ALL of the cells from patients that were sampled, and he tried for 20 years to grow "immortal" cell lines. It was 1951, they didn't think about asking for consent from ANY patient for taking cells from tissue that would otherwise be discarded from surgery.
How do you know that to be fact?. The doctors did say they didn’t want to be sued.
Sure help the family, but it was hardly a horrible experiment, she IS a hero!
Love when Queen on the board😁
So they just have no idea why the cells are like this? Every source seems to say that HPV caused major mutations in her uterus cells and they became cancerous, but like how? How often does HPV create human cells that are bright purple with 80 chromosomes? Has there ever been more cells like (or at least extremely similar) this found in a human? Not just other immortal lines but ones that are as hardy and as prolific as HeLa cells?
The cells won't give up their secret because of the way they were treated.
Cells respond to thought, speech, behavior, emotions, etc. Hopefully one Intelligent scientist will give HeLA the Love and Respect required and they will offer up their secret.
Great post.
SO PAY THIS FAMILY! THE DOCTORS ASSISTENT EVEN ADMITTED THAT HE SENT HER TO REMOVE CELLS FROM THE CORPSE! WHY ISN'T THIS FAMILY BILLIONAIRES BY NOW, BECAUSE SOMEONE IS GETTING RICH OFF THIS LADY'S CELLS.
Amazing documentary, but please change the click bait headline.
Really interesting to anyone who has read "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks." Explains the story in a different way.
Great video.
What a strange paradox.....Henrietta was killed by her own cells which are actually immortal......I have heard that Cancer does not kill by its mere existence....rather it kills by invading functioning organs in the body...pushing them to one side, consuming them and replacing them with its own alien growth.....Has anyone studied the genomes of cancer cells or tumours themselves? Do cancer cells even have their own particular DNA or genome map? Probably.....but this fascinating video has made me think....Thanks for the upload....
Yep the same immortal
cancer cells used in vaccines pumped into your kids today
Opened up the book, and read about 60 pages in , maybe this video will save me some time.
This is seriously fucked up! The family should have been asked before anything was ever stolen from her. I understand that scientists have made breakthroughs with this research but ethically this was done by theft. The family may have consented if they had been asked first. Disgraceful! The disrespect shown of Henriettas body after death was also appalling.
It’s funny how October 11 is also my birthday. Don’t expect prosperity from anyone who is deserving without giving them courage and support. Even a simple thank you is all it takes for a break through. And I believe we still have a chance...Frank Kigozi
I’m here from the future. Her family is indeed, suing.
THANK YOU
The narrator has done something else I watched. Maybe a British documentary on JFK assassination. Got a great voice for mysterious stuff. Wish a better version was available
Read her book. Tells you everything. And without the author, her life and family wouldn't be known. I am pretty sure it says in the book that her family got benefits from this. And Henrietta was a poor, black woman who was taken advantage by a white doctor, who took her cells without her knowledge and consent because she needed help.
Incredible!
Fox Mulder sent me here.
Sick/Evil man could have just been open and honest and compensated the family. They wouldn't have objected or required the colossal amount they deserved.
This movie reveals the truth about the human race; that we're all the same on the inside.
breng wilson We are not the same on the inside. You should read Melanin What Makes Black People Black, it well explain the well over 100 Differences between blacks and white specifically. It sounds nice on the surface but it is extremely untrue
umm....No ma'am...we are not the same as them in ANY way...and why would you even want to be?
bren wilson We are not all the same inside if that was the case, why do they set up organ shops in black communities? Because our melanin is something that helps us literally!
Jenova confirmed.
Dz is like the hot shot c19
These efforts and dollars were to find a cure for cancer for white people by any means necessary. Even at black people expense. You black folks y'all just too sweet, naive and forgiving. Thank you jesus, AMEN.
lol I bet that they never thought of checking to what kind of frequency/vibration the cells were exposed to ;)
Nixon says Nothing about the in-roads made from the use of Ms. Lacks' cells!
Evil people in this world.
I'd rather not have polio
Sarena fuller,,you are a not just an extra in a movie,,but you are a extra reason other blacks will become awaken, more knowledgeable,,I will send you a request
Gawt damn shame.... They sold the cells so whyyyy cnt they be compensated?
Makes me angry as hell
