Isn’t it a problem if the family’s cells are taken without consent? Also, should the family be paid for their cells being used?

Are HeLa cells widely available, if so, are they free and how much do they cost? Are there any other cells that have been observed to have similar properties to HeLa cells? What laws are there in place now regarding the testing of medical patients?

# data[].attributes.body
Two ethical issues with the HeLa experiments are that neither she nor her family were compensated for giving the sample, even though the cells are the foundation of multi-billion dollar industries. Another issue is that Johns Hopkins used the Lacks family multiple times without their consent and knowledge to get more cells.

1. Lacks was born on August 1, 1920 in Roanoke, Virginia as Loretta Pleasant

2. She had 5 children, Lucile Elsie was sent to a mental ward for having developmental problems related to her deafness

3. She married her cousin “David Day” Lacks at age 14

4. She was raised on a poor tobacco farm, and after her mother died in 1924, she moved to Lacks Town with her grandfather

Henrietta Lacks born in 1920 in Roanoke, Virginia on August 1st.

Loretta Pleasant was Lacks original name and changed her name to Henrietta Lacks after marrying her first cousin, David Lacks in 1941.

Henrietta Lacks died in 1951 of cervical cancer.

Henrietta Lacks had five children (Deborah, Elsie, Zakariyya, David jr., and Lawrence)

# data[].attributes.body
Two ethical issues about this case are that Henrietta Lacks never knew that Johns Hopkins was taking her cells and spreading them. The other issue is that she was not given credit for the HeLa cells and that everyone thought the cells came from the fake person Helen Lane.

1951: The cells were removed from her body and sent to George Gey, where they were found to be “immortal”.

1952: After finding that the HeLa cells were vulnerable to Polio, scientists were able to develop a Polio vaccine.

1954: Successfully isolated and cloned a cell leading to gene therapy, stem cell synthesis, and in vitro fertilization.

1970: Dr. Gey dies and true identity of the cells

2005: HeLa cells were used for creating nanotech utilizing iron nano-wires and and silica-coated nanoparticles

Should institutions ask for consent when doing studies, even if it is not required by law? For this question, it is without that institutions should ask for consent. Lacking consent can result in many years of issues where people are unaware of what they have been tested with and this lack of consent has resulted in a lack of trust between various communities.

Is it ethical to possibly risk someone’s life with the possibility of death for more scientific knowledge; essentially, do the ends justify the means? It depends on the situation. In Henrietta Lacks’ case, the ends do justify the means and HeLa cells helped save many lives and develop many helpful theories and other cures for various diseases.
