Henrietta Lacks – Immortal Cells, Unjust Legacy, Family's Fight 🧬⚖️

Описание: In 1951, Henrietta Lacks went to Johns Hopkins for treatment and unknowingly changed the future of medicine. Without her consent, doctors took her cells—now known as HeLa cells—which became the first immortal human cell line. These cells led to countless medical breakthroughs, from the polio vaccine to cancer research and COVID-19 treatments. But while the world profited, her family remained in the shadows, uncompensated and unheard. Henrietta's story is not just about scientific progress—it's about ethics, race, and the fight for justice that still continues today.
