Henrietta Lacks

$12.00

Henrietta Lacks I obviously went for a blood look here. So she’s a blood red jelly with purple flakes that shift red for an amazing vampy shift, and a brilliant red sparkle!

Henrietta Lacks was an African-American woman whose cancer cells are the source of the HeLa cell line, one of the most important cell lines in medical research. The HeLa (Her initials) cell line continues to be a source of invaluable medical data even today and has made the medical industry billions of dollars. She was never told or asked for permission, and I’m sure you’ve guessed she nor her family has ever seen a penny in compensation. With knowledge of the cell line’s genetic provenance becoming public, its use for medical research and for commercial purposes continues to raise concerns about privacy and patients’ rights. Countless people have her cells to thank for their lives, their accomplishments, and advancements… She is a Woman Done Wrong! We honor and thank you!
