Using her cell commercially in different scientific labs until this moment without her or her family consent and no money was given for them.

I wonder if any of her family members were able to be compensated from the medical community for the use, albeit a wonderful use, of Henrietta’s cells?

Not really. You should read
@RebeccaSkloot ‘s book. It explains it all. Really great read. -
I have a library DVD copy on loan of the HBO movie starring Oprah.

I forgot about the movie! I want to watch it too.
-
Me too, I remember hearing about it tho.

Oprah made the talk show rounds promoting the movie. She was the only guest for The Talk hour.
