          As we embarked on the Overlooked series, we wanted to be able to show how the gender breakdown had changed over time. That turned out to be a project unto itself.http://nyti.ms/2HBMZXv

          Have always felt really uncomfortable w the way the book about her medical history and life was written. It seemed like an invasion of privacy the writer wouldn’t have inflicted on a peer or contemporary.

          Misleading. Cells were taken as part of a procedure related to her cancer. Removed tissue was not considered a patient's property then. That being said, once the value of the cells was recognized, some sort of permission should have been sought and compensation given.

          This was the most heart-wrenching book I ever read. Everyone has been making money from @HenriettaLacks cells except the family. Hopefully they got something from the film so the grandkids of Ms. Lacks could have proper educations.

          On one hand you say her cells are prolific and insightful for postérité and on the other hand you say they caused millions in damage and that no one has done more for humanity...

          Thank you, I have heard about this amazing story, but you brought it to life. So Henrietta Lacks probably saved millions of lives, or will end up doing so. Shamefully mistreated thought, as well as her family treated shabbily.
