- To honor the life and legacy of Henrietta Lacks, this video highlights her impact on biomedical research and the efforts of Johns Hopkins Medicine to pay homage to her legacy. Learn more at: www.hopkinsmedi...
Henrietta Lacks was an African-American woman who underwent treatment for an aggressive form of cervical cancer at Johns Hopkins Hospital in 1951. Despite receiving a high standard of medical treatment, Mrs. Lacks ultimately succumbed to this cancer at the young age of 31. However, her extraordinary cells-called “HeLa” from the first two letters of her first and last names-continued to reproduce in the laboratory. This was the first time in history that a human cell line was able to be reproduced in a laboratory setting; and it gave medical researchers the opportunity to improve the human condition by allowing them to better understand, treat, and prevent a wide range of diseases, including the development of the polio vaccine, cancer treatment protocols, AIDS research, and much more.
If you want to show the impact she and others have made...Pay the family what is owed to them
K Cee preach....
K Cee Damn right!
Her great-granddaughter is hosting an event at the school in the video and her grandson agreed to come in and talk about the miracle that happened, they don't seem to bitter...
👐🏽They have NO SOULS OR CONSCIOUS SO WHY WOULD ONE THINK THAT CHRONIC
murderers, thieves & deceitful liars would ever do the correct, moral thing🤔🤔🤔.
It is a form of insanity to think that parasitic beasts and their minions would or ever will change their MO. Ask yourself HAVE LEOPARDS EVER changed their SPOTS????????????????????
@@jbp6994 murderers? Seriously? Get help.
Pay that family their money.
Now y’all wanna honor her but hid her name for years. The fact that a BLACK WOMAN changed medicine forever is iconic and legendary. The world should know Henrietta Lacks’s name, she’s the mother of modern medicine. Thank you Henrietta, rest in eternal peace queen 👑.
What does race have to do with anything
@@Frozo-nt2ky it has to do with everything
@@Frozo-nt2ky . Do you even know what happens when cancer cells are cut into? And like I asked in the previous question, do you think they’ll subject a white woman to that?
@@robincooper1182 wdym she was dead when that happened
@@xxjayy0xx466 elaborate
Stole and never paid the family. John Hopkins should be a shame
They should be ashamed.
Henrietta Lacks is the "Mother Of Medicine" and her estate should be worth Trillions of dollars in U.S. currency.
multi150nyc me also but you guys want to kill me
For what? What medicine that is sold did she make? You moron.
@@jf8138 You're the Moron that question itself proves it. Research her and all the scientific advancements that we now have because of her.
@@multi150nyc because of the type of cancer she got...not because of ANYTHING she did.
@@colin2709 No rather because of all that has been done/accomplished due to her DNA...point remains.
My science teacher never told us about this! It is so sad that WE never know about the pertinent things that truly affect us. Yea, they didn't tell the universe, but the family should have been told and compensated. that was done with intention. So many time Black people have contributed to this earth with no recognition. Yet blacks are still ostracized. Just like Tuskegee Airmen horrible study.
Johns Hopkins should be ashamed of themselves!Give the family health benefits for all the family as well as compensation for all theLacks family.
randyalan100 Very very true they should have the money owning to the Heath authority quested this a piss take
Not just Johns Hopkins. All the hospitals worldwide which benefited from her cells
Definitely Johns Hopkins should be utterly ashamed for how they treated her family !
They need to give the family their billions. What’s rightfully, theirs. That’s their generational wealth!
6:36 @@nwilliams-rq8eqhow did they treat her badly? They were one of the few hospitals helping the poor at that time.
I knew this video was not going to mention how they harvested her cells without her permission or permission of her family. They also kept the family in the dark about the harvested cells. John Hopkins is sanitizing history.
Pay Henrietta's family what is owed to them for stealing her cells!!!
I love how they sanitized this history, yet they refuse to compensate her descendants.
Why does everything have a price tag? Ridiculous you even mention this.
The Lacks family should be paid reparations for this. They have been extremely gracious from generation to generation, but their family, if properly compensated, should receive no less than a Billion dollars in reparations.
Ridiculous statement. The hospital was helping her freely. Now they try to honor her. People are so materialist. I try to help others and never think they owe me something. It's a shame to even state they should be paid. Whatever happened to doing good for the sake of doing good.
@Kathybates1751 Your comment is the one that is absolutely ridiculous. Nothing in life is free. These scientists made trillions from these cells (property that was not theirs). How can you patent Hela cells or any medication that came from Hela calls, when you don't own the cells? So, yes, I think the family is definitely owed billions.
@@kathybates1751 How much money do you think has been made off her cells? Her cells have literally changed medicine as we know it and they were taken from her and used without her knowledge or consent and the family was shut out of all of that for a very long time. Id highly suggest you look into the fairly dark history of medicine and what doctors and researchers have subjected the black population to in the name of "science".
The family has been incredibly generous and open with the use of HeLa cells but it does not mean they dont deserve compensation. The money being made off of the research is literally being made off the life of their family member.
The family should be paid or at least taken care of.
Definitely paid.
Being part of her treatment at John Hopkins , I don't think they are legally required to pay her but her family should be well compensated because of the Fantastic outcome no. There is no reason why the family is not perpetually compensated it would not be financially unreasonable or financially devastating to the university or government. They throw billions at foreign governments why not just give them millions and acknowledge the contribution.
This is heartbreaking and AMAZING at the same time!! Thank you Henrietta Lacks..........I know you know you are appreciated 😢😪😌❤
Amen 🙏🏿
Shame on you Johns Hopkins! You stole her cells, claimed that she donated them and never paid her family
Am gonna damn make sure this amazing woman is part of our Black History Month at school, children should know her important contribution to medicine and that every kind of research is carried out using her cells.
As others have said, if you want to honor her, pay her family what is owed to them. A lot of money has been made by drug companies and hospitals based on research from those cells and her family should be compensated for the assault on their grandmother. And yes, when you take someone's cells without their knowledge or consent, it is an assault and deserves recompense.
Sadly still, you too can buy HeLa cells in the medical market...
She literally died with her life not mattering… but ended up saving lives all around the world♥️♥️♥️
Ugggh I just cried watching this. Henrietta and her families story is so touching, sad, infuriating & awe inspiring! Thank you thank you thank you Henrietta Lacks 🖤 God bless all of the Lacks family past, present & future.
So when is JOhn HOpkins going to give the family some financial payback?
So sad! Beautiful black people has contributed so much 98% of inventions were black people and get little to no recognition. This beautiful sista saved many cavers lives and they still refuse to give her the honor due to her.
facts
ugh probably not 98%
The of Deuteronomy explains everything you just explained but in a deeper knowledge. We are treated this way because of our Ancestors and now it's our disobedience. Unto our Creator...
Exactly 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Imagine having a physical part of you live on for decades being grown across the world. Better than having an element named after you. But still, reparations for not asking for permission is needed.
Thank goodness the family is getting paid now!
Amen we love you Mama Lacks rest in peace 😘😘😘
🙏🏿And still Cancer is Huge after decades....let that marinate🥵🥵🥵
1:27 stolen not cultured
Let my people go
Look up Sims the founder of Gynecology
Black women give so much to this country! I do not want ba book club I want the family paid!!
Yet, she was never compensated for this and nor has her descendants. Johns Hopkings, change the narrative and pay the family for this travesty.
Has her family been compensated yet?
Ya but who was the person who studied her cells
Crystal Evans from City College High School..... is that you???? Go Girl....So impressed and obsessed about this awesome woman.👏👏👏👏👏 I so wished Henrietta could have seen some of her great contribution in medical society. R.I.P Mrs. Lacks🙏🙏🙏
Henrietta Lacks is the real life Hashirama Senju 🤯
They stole those cells
Papers must be filed. Submit the invoice for funds due according to their laws. Copyright infringement by using a DNA unauthorised comes to mind? I'AM STILL KEEPING THE FAITH!!! PEACE, LOVE, BLESSINGS & WHOLENESS 2 ALL OF GOD'S CHILDREN...TM😊😌😇🙏
She should and need to be honored we owe he so much!!
Why are these cells not used to develop a Covid vaccine???
They are
I may be missing it somewhere but, did anyone EVER say sorry for what they did to Henrietta? She truly is one of the most important people in medicine. If anyone deserves a Nobel Prize in Medicine, she does and her family and descendants deserve, at the very least, free medical care for the rest of their lives.
The world Greatful and Thankful to you " Henrieta Lacks"
pay the family .
Williams Maria Garcia Barbara White Maria
3:50 I want to know what she said.
This women cells were stolen and the family received nothing as in compensation after all the money was made of her cells even after they realize they were being sold!!
Pay the family. She deserves way more than PR RUclips.
Long live Dr Ralph Bunch.
Hey I don’t care but take it..
A labor of not asking
Did you ask?
Broad day robbery
To honor the life and legacy of Henrietta Lacks???? HOW??? What a gat damn joke.
F to pay my respects
The trailer for the movie makes it look like they stole this against her will, but it was merely part of her treatment at John Hopkins University. Why would someone try to make this look like a racist thing??? A wonderful thing happened during her life and although she passed away she has given more to science then anyone may possibly know. Let's try to keep politics out of it
The hospital can take tissue or blood from a patient to determine treatment. The hospital can not take tissue or blood for profit without consent. It's like you being on life support and the hospital knowing you're going to die. The hospital decides to take your organs and sell them without your consent or your family's consent.
Why would she give consent to them cutting into her a tumor that she didn’t know was cancerous? Why would she give consent to them cutting into her cancerous cells causing them to spread all over her body? It’s because she didn’t give consent!
That's exactly what they were trying to do!
@@kathrynw.9754 they did a biopsy on her cervix for her diagnosis, and subsequently noted that her cells were not dying in the lab.
Who else is here by virtue of @iamconjurequeen ?
Thank you Queen
