When I saw the title "Meet the Woman Who Will Still Be Alive in 1,000 Years" I immediately thought of Queen Elizabeth II
She's a vampire lol
Isn't she already like 1000 years old? 🤔
i was thinking Cher but what about Kieth Richards?
Same
God save the queen
This is insane.
She saved lives
She is immortal
She was the first woman to go to space
Stopped an epidemic
This is amazing.
Bruh, first woman in space
@@speedgleb9389 lmao fr the first woman in space was russian cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova
@XxshitmasterxX thank you ! Half the people i know would say, Mae.C jemson
And she magically became white
Not the first, Russians were the first.
10:36 At the time, as you had mentioned, John Hopkins was the ONLY hospital in a HUGE are that would even see black patients. Further, they did it for free. The crux of the ethical issue is that she technically signed a release form allowing them to take multiple samples, but she signed it with an X. There is little possiblity that a woman who was in immense pain, a 6th grade education, and would have been intimidated by the raicial power structure would have understood the legalise of the paperwork she signed. The issue is that John Hopkins did not consider this aspect.
On another sad note, her family thougth that there were thousands of copies of her whole body just sitting in labs around the world, thanks to people saying things like "She is immortal" instead of "Her cells are immortal". It was years before they were FINALLY introduced to a researcher who used HeLa cells, and thankfully they were glad to explain what was actually going on with their mother's cells, putting them to quite a bit of relief, for that issue at least.
I suggest everyone read "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks".

LMAO
@@danmilew I know, you guys can't read past 120 characters.

@@danmilew Thank you Sis.
So Henrietta lacks was functionally immortal, but died of cancer.
Huh.
Its ironic that her cancer cells were also immortal and thats what killed her as the cancer treatment could not kill those cells.
Bet anything cancer treatment killed her.
Cancer is nothing more than the body adjusting the terrain to repair or fix a problem.

@@mizomint4197 that’s cold man... but definitely a great jab 😅
You should read the book, "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks". 🙏
@Lerone murpy When it's for the greater good, the lives that may be saved are more important
The cell biologist George Otto Gey is the one who should get all the credit but for some reason no one gives a f* about him, everyone is praising a woman that did literally nothing wtf
I think providing her family free medical treatment is the least they can do to show gratitude
I agree
Everybody should have free medical treatment my dude. Or at least reasonably affordable medical that's actually good. Like let the same medical treatment the millionaires get be the same for everyone. I just smoked some good ahh weed so I'm finna accidentally ramble so my bad my nigga lol
Bruh everyone should have that but Trump and his party dont like the idea
Why? Are we going to do that for the thousand of doctors who ACTUALLY made the discoveries? Why not give all THEIR families free medical treatment? While you're at it, maybe you can give all of their assistants free medical treatment. And their friends too. And neighbors. And the guy down at the supermarket that bags their groceries. Sorry, but I don't agree. Where would it end? I mean, evidently she has a huge family. What was it, 10 brothers and sisters? Now with dozens of their own kids and probably hundreds of grand kids. And how many generations? Forever?? Listen, there is an infinite number of situations that warrant pats on the back and good will. But technically she didn't do anything. It was the researchers that did. Why not just accept that the true heroes - those who actually make discoveries and create wonderful solutions - are the people who make the differences in our lives. I had a friend that donated his body to science. Should his family and friends and neighbors all get some goodies for any discoveries that might have been the result of the use of his body? Didn't think so. Let's don't get caught up in the band wagon. It's fortunate that the brilliant researchers were able to use her cells. Let's leave it with that.
100% agreed.
Her cells are basically independent single-celled mammals and I find that extremely fascinating. There are other cases where evolution basically lead to incredible life forms that look nothing like what you’d expect, like Rhizocephala, which are parasitic crabs that look nothing like crabs - Wikipedia explains it better than I could though
Truly, it’s a shame that I’m just now learning about Henrietta’s influence in the world just now…
Why is it a shame?
Raye Cufley, you aren't the only one. Extremely interesting video however.
@@dvult3684 Maybe because this person directly saved the lives of countless people and yet nobody knows.
@@thirtythreeeyes8624 So, by that logic, anything or anyone that saves lives is someone who is to be known, but other than that, it was quite literally not her who did it. She is, scientifically speaking, the collection of trillion of cells, each which is not her yet she is them. The cancer cells itself were her enemies, mutated cells. She hadn't caused it and likely never could. You couldn't say it was her who did it, it was the mutation of a cell, a cell that she is yet they are not her.
@@dvult3684 Without her existence those cells wouldn't exist so I think she deserves at least a little credit and apparently so did the Dr. who named them after her.
The absolute greatest example of “black don’t crack” I have ever seen
Sad thing big pharma make millions form her and the family see none of it.
@@jbone9900 But is it though? If I randomly gained the ability to fly, but then died, and then the cells were taken and studied and that led to a breakthrough in the discovery of flight for the human race, why would a random chance unrelated to actual work on my part be given to me or my family?
@@Theendman42 so it's okay for the giant corporations to screw folks but the woman's family who gave the cells shouldn't have anything. and the rich man who had nothing to do with it should make millions. no wonder company's think they run the world when the sheep runs idiotic to the defense just to be trampled by the elites.
@@jbone9900 The person who's cells those more so had nothing to do with it, it's not like the person developed control over their cells and then patented their super-cells. This was cancer cells from a person, they are naturally taken during routine medical examinations to test the tissue, if the tissue survives and further help out the world, cool. I don't own my "cells" per say, they aren't my "property," especially cancer cells. I don't see how anyone was really "screwed" in this scenario.
@@Theendman42 that's why the are not held responsible because of people with your sheep mentality.
I think Henrietta would have liked your thoughtful and respectful treatment of her life and story
Yes ! I read the book written about her, I admire her personality and I think more people should know her story. And not just HeLa but the woman they came from
May her soul rest in peace, she unintentionally helped/saved the lives of so many people, and I think not many are aware of that. I think she deserves to be on many history books. I also think her family should get a piece of that profit.
That person would probably be killed. Cancer treatment is a trillion dollar business.
Think about why she's not mentioned!
5:02 i like he's name lol
Why should someone be rewarded for something they did unintentionally and something they would likely not have done if given the option to have intentions.
@@SeeFreeTV intentional or not the question is what is moralistic.
The book on her life is amazing. It took 10 yrs to write. It covers her life, bioethics, racism and so much more.
Racism? Not the sexism she may have had to deal with?
Nevermind. Finished the video and saw she was African American.
One of my favourite books.
@@mellowmallow4855 Well both, especially for black women. Misogynoir is its whole own load of horrible trash.
@@emberwilliams8902 I know that now. I was looking at the comments before finishing the video, and I'm sorry, but the artist rendering if get did not depict her as a black woman to me. So when I came across this comment I was thrown off.
What is the book called?
I wish I could go back in time and give her a hug and tell her how important she would be to all of humanity and how grateful we are. It may have given her a certain peace in her last days.
Thank you Mrs. Henrietta Lacks. You merely existing was an incomprehensible blessing to humanity and will forever be one. She truly will be known for as long as history itself lives. People will not forget her. It’s too humanely significant. She will live on physically for hundreds if not thousands of years, but she will be a legend for humanity… all of humanity. She was such a beautiful woman. I hope her ancestors carry on her legacy.
Read the book “the immortal life of Henrietta Lacks.” It was messed up out she was treated, but ultimately she has saved countless love throughout the world.
The book is awesome
I’ve read it. And you’re right this woman who suffered and died so young has saved thousands of lives. The least the US could do would be to ensure her relatives have proper health care.
I'm glad his news is getting out. I just got the book as assigned reading for 11th grade English!
i'm reading it right now for english class! literally amazing
The book is awesome! They made a TV movie of it with my buddy Rose Byrne playing Rebecca Kloots, who wrote the book

I wished she would have lived to realize how much of an impact she made, albeit involuntary, on medical research, and the many lives her cells saved. She truly deserves a posthumous Nobel prize.
Who says she didn't see it?
@@phoenixstormjr.110 she died a year after the birth of her last baby, which means she died a year or less after she went to the doctor and got her cells taken to the lab. So ultimately, she didn’t live to see it
I dont really think she counts, since she didnt discover anything?
@@pamelam1101 She died. Why does that mean she didn't see it? 😉
They don't give Nobel prizes posthumously. It's why alot of people who probably deserved one didn't get one.
Well that and they take forever to actually give them out.
May her legacy be blessed for all the lives she had unknowingly saved
It's crazy how the father couldn't handle his own kids. But you bet their mother was home alone handling them. 🙄 It's sad what they all went through.

Dude they made a statue of floyd lmao people dont take truth as a guide anymore
Henrietta's family didn't take responsibility for disposing properly of biological samples (which if the hospital does wrong they can be fined or sued over), so she also doesn't get the money for what comes from it.

@@ario2223 His actual name is Arran Lomas (yes, Aaron would be a variant of this name, but not Aaran). He's English, from Lancashire, but the name is supposed to be Scottish, so there's that.

I read this like you wrote an essay for your girlfriend just for something to do. Like giving her flowers or making her dinner 😂
It's okay once she breaks up with you she can be stupid due to not caring about school and it will show 👍
God how much I admire her. We studied The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks in one of my classes and she continues to come across my mind so frequently
Honestly the quality of videos this man outputs is insane and some of the footage he uses I would never understand where he manages to get it from
I find it sad that when it’s asked who are/were the 20 most influential women ever Henrietta Lacks, to this day is still relatively unknown yet she has had such a profound effect on mankind! You’re more likely to find one of the Kardashians on the list..
Disgusting
I'm assuming it's because she didn't actually do anything remarkable herself. It was more of a dumb luck situation. But despite this, there are many women who have had great ideas and contributions to humanity who are not very popularly known at all. It's a shame.
I mean she didn’t do anything
@@kenyenmusic7548 Haha yea that's what I'm saying.
i don't get how, i was taught about her in school. i thought everyone knew her
I thought you would be referring to Henrietta Lacks but the drawing didn’t make sense to me. Glad you are spreading the word about her life. She deserves more attention for saving so many countless people than she’s had. 🥰
Ikr 👍
yeah same I read the title and thought of Henrietta lacks but it was a drawing of a white woman? so I got rly confused
@@puppycat2397 She was probably mostly white but because of the one drop rule, she was considered black.
You are right I thought they were referring to Henrietta but the pic they put up looked white.
I could tell it was Henrietta Lacks from the picture. She had a lighter skin (that is clear from the black and white photos of her) and the art was of a lighter skinned brown woman, like Henrietta Lacks. 🤷🏽♀️
And as for the use of the one drop policy in her, it is possible that it could have been the case, but it is also entirely possible that she isn’t mostly white, but still have some European features show and affect her skin tone. For instance, I’m 25% European, and 75% black, yet I am probably lighter in skin tone that she was (especially during the winter time). I get mistaken for being half white a lot of the time and yet I am not. A lot of black people in America has some European DNA in them and sometimes that shows more for some than with others. She was light skinned, and that is pretty clear from the black and white photos. She most likely had some European ancestry, but she may be mostly black and her skin happened to be just quite light because of the bit of European DNA in her.
Dear Henrietta Lacks, you have helped millions of people and I am sure my progeny will be among them. Thank you dear lady. Thank you so much 💐
I'm proud to be born at one of Jones hospitals NORFOLK GENERAL and this woman is life saver she is the reason why my great great grandpa Amoroso won the Nobel peace prize for reproductive study!!!!
I cultivated and worked with HeLa-cells cells during training to be a biology lab tech. We did discuss where they were from and the ethics beforehand though

Thank you so much for posting this! I've never heard her story before. Our education system is indeed lacking...
Being in Baltimore this story always hits differently. It’s such a devastating and tragic tale for her family. We owe Henrietta Lacks everything.
Maybe you can start a go fund for her.
It is sad to think this young girl died of the very thing that is still living today, I do however think that some form of what this girl has done for medical research should be acknowledged, and to at least give her children a payment of thanks to such a unique and wonderful woman, xxxx Dede
She didn't do anything besides being lucky, and her children are racist and greedy.
I agree with you, theawakeningangel.

I'm a cancer survivor and signed off on my oncologist using my tumor for medical research. They are developing 4 different chemo free treatments with it. He is head of a research team at MD anderson now.
When you realize there isn’t free healthcare for those in tough situations and then realize that everyone working at a hospital gets paid well…..this is really sad that her family couldn’t even afford treatment. Honestly, when did affording treatment rely on money so much? I remember being raised that we should care for one another, and if I could, I’d just treat whoever and charge them later at least.

As an American cultural historian, I was acquainted with the outline of this story. But I appreciate the informative and interesting presentation of the background and results of the full story of Henrietta's cells, and the conflict instituted by her relatives. Thanks for your many interesting presentations. At over 80, I have deeded my body, after death, to be used for medical research, to prevent my relatives from profiteering from my death.

It makes it so easy to skip through the video by simply watching for the change of shirt and braces.
Thanks!
good catch!
Thanks for the tip I didnt even notice that.
There's a plugin you can get that autoskips sponsor spots. The timecodes for the sponsor sections are crowdsourced and usually up within 30 mins of a video uploading.
@@Thecawesomeone Thanks! This is a useful tip.
This is an advantage of having ADHD, I didn't even notice the adverts.
You are an amazing person, teaching thousands of people the importance of history of humans and their developments. congrats to you and your production team! keep it up. :)
Thank you Henrietta!!! 💜
I love that HeLa sounds a bit like "Healer".
Queen Elizabeth be like...
I wonder what her Clone would say...
@@HeavilyCensoredKitty I AM THE SENATE
@@BananaMemes69 she will pass but her Clone will live on just like Phillips Clone.
@@KaasIsLekker like the scene from Resident Evil when he discovers he is the Clone and kills the original...
I thought he was gonna talk ab her
Its incredible how i never knew about this
I can't imagine how she would react if she ever knew that her cells will have this crazy effect on the whole planet and humanity
Wow
Her family really deserved little bit at least of that money i can't believe how ungrateful corporations are
Actually, her family is ungrateful. They're suing for more than all the money ever made plus interest, after Henry was taken care of and received treatment, and after all the work the scientists did studying her cells, while she just laid back and died. That lawsuit will destroy science. I hope she has good cells, because those are the last cells anyone will ever study after this trillion dollar lawsuit is through.
My sister passed in 2013 from cervical cancer at 28yrs old leaving two younger behind.
I remember reading a book about this amazing woman in school.
I never personally used HeLa cells in the lab, but I am so aware of Henrietta Lacks' unwitting contribution to science. I have used cancer cells from other people in my research and always take the time to know about the people whose cells I use: a 69 year old white Caucasion woman for the breast cancer cells, an infant of 2 years for the lung cells...knowing about these people is a way of respecting them, of acknowledging their lives, of memorializing them. It is odd to think that even though the person died, I am still growing their cells in the lab, little pieces of them are still alive.
On a related note, a friend told me of how someone had put a culture of HeLa cells into the refrigerator, and they were still alive the next day. Most cells do not survive refrigeration. Those HeLa cells are tough.
She is saiyan
When he said Henrietta Lacks I was so happy. I learned about her in high school and he story shocked and still shocks me. Her family deserves justice!!
They deserve appreciation for Henrietta’s contribution to society. Justice would imply being unfair/ cruelty. A lot of people are alive today because of her cells. How it was taken from her was improper.
@@grouchyoldman5348 It actually wasn't, as the video describes.
@@grouchyoldman5348 justice would be to PAY her family and descendants.
@@matchaeyllefor doing what
This something I never knew!! Thank you for this video and all you have explained.. bless her soul and all her cells are helping … it’s a disgrace her family have had no economic compensation and perhaps should try to take their case to the Superior Courts of Justice? Just a thought though. I am blown away with this !
What happened to my kidney? We sold it on eBay. That is the best quote ever.
Happens all the time
13:45 If we've learned anything in the last 15 months it's that there's a pretty good chance the person with the magic cancer curing cells would tell the rest of humanity to get lost.
It's awful, but true! I think in that case and the person was alive ubcan bet your ass the laws would change to see to it that said person (or extended family if something mysteriously happened to the subject) received compensation of some kind. And if not, I suppose, there's always the dark web. they could sell that shit there js!
Humanity doesnt deserve it
@@vaarius6737 Not you, but the rest of us do.
@@GalaxyGirl08 Keep dreaming
@@vaarius6737 You are definitely the person who would refuse it to later cry about that your dog died of cancer.
"Doctor Gay"
Just so you know, Doctor Gey is actually pronounced "Doctor Guy"
Haha *_gEEEEyyyy_*
Paging Dr. Ghey
Paging Dr. Dover
Dr. Ben Dover
Hes the one with the long fingers
@@dingomatic Nein, he came from a German family and the "ey" in his name makes the same sound as German "ei". This makes his name sound like "guy".
but that’s no fun
But why is he Gey?
A statue of Ms. Lacks will replace the Robert E. Lee statue in Roanoke, Virginia. 💗
One of your most interesting videos imo!
Orochimaru needs this girls jutsu

Kabuto would like to know your location.
Pretty sure he already has it
🤣🤣
I've already heard this story before, but having 42 tell it makes it even better. He mentioned curing cancer but the sad truth is, the medical field and pharmaceutical companies would never allow a cure for cancer to be made, as they would stop making billions off of their current "treatments" that are actually poison. Cancer is probably the most profitable thing in the entirety of the medical and pharmaceutical business, just as death is incredibly profitable to funeral homes
Morals go through the window when money is involved!
No cures anymore, they just find a way for you to be able to live with what ails you
Thousands of researchers working to find a cure and you think they're all in on the cut? None of them would squeal? What about the non profits? Do pharma CEOs not get cancer? Or did they find a cure and they pay off maybe tens of thousands of scientists, and doctors etc?
@@zaboguy Shhhhh... 🤫 don't tell them about developments in IO therapies and gene therapies.
@@zaboguy
You act as if this kind of thing would never happen even though there have been a plethora of documentaries covering such business dealings.
In general, if the big investors CANT put a patent on it, there isn't much effort in research and development on anything.
These organizations all have shareholders, except the non-profit but there are ways to manipulate NPs. The bottom line is always profit and a lot of times charities and fundraiser are just entities to hide behind.
There's no need for formal conspiracies, it's just capitalistic business ethics, not that they're hiding a vile with the cure in a wall safe.
It's the same reason the automobile industry hasn't made practical electric vehicles in mass even though its possible, environmentally ethical, and there is a public demand for them.
The automobile industry makes billions by selling all the separate parts that go into making an internal combustion engine as opposed to a battery powered car and they would lose out billions of dollars if they completely switch from gas power to electric power even though it'd be the more environmentally responsible thing that should be done.
It's the one core main societal flaw of the capitalist system. Whatever it is, or whatever the moral dilemma, whether it makes profits and or effects the jobs market will always take precedence over anything else.
They "frived" (thrived)!
That has to 42's worst attempt yet when it comes to his epic and habitual struggle to phonetically pronounce words that start with "th". I love it!
