Today's story begins in 1951 with the life-transforming journey of Henrietta Lacks, a young African American woman and mother of five from a tobacco farm in Virginia. Diagnosed with an aggressive form of cervical cancer, she underwent treatment at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. Here, unbeknownst to her, a biopsy of her cancer cells was taken, an act reflective of the era's lack of standard informed consent practices. Henrietta's unique cancer cells, later known as HeLa cells, would go on to revolutionize medical science, fostering numerous advancements while simultaneously igniting a prolonged ethical debate surrounding race, consent, and medical ethics. Henrietta Lacks' legacy, through her immortal HeLa cells, continues to influence medical research and human understanding to this day.
