Posts: Links / HeLa Cells - Weird

I do not think her family is entitled to any money. That's ridiculous the essence of someone how ever you believe it surely could not be contained within the cells. also it was a freakin tumor and not a accurate representation of the normal cells in Rebecca'a body. This again comes down to if people knew more about science then these types of problems could be avoided.
Other than that super interesting story. I need to read more on why these cell are considered immortal.

Interesting, but I have to ask; was this article written by a 6th grader? Check out this paragraph:

"So a postdoc called Henrietta’s husband one day. But he had a third-grade education and didn’t even know what a cell was. The way he understood the phone call was: “We’ve got your wife. She’s alive in a laboratory. We’ve been doing research on her for the last 25 years. And now we have to test your kids to see if they have cancer.” Which wasn’t what the researcher said at all. The scientists didn’t know that the family didn’t understand. From that point on, though, the family got sucked into this world of research they didn’t understand, and the cells, in a sense, took over their lives. "

My bad; I guess this is a transcription from an interview? It's all very confusing.

At any rate, there is a bakery called "Henrietta's" on the outskirts of Algonquin Park, Ontario. Sticky buns to die for. This article made me hungry.
