Family of Henrietta Lacks, whose HeLa cells uphold medicine, settles with biotech company in c/science@beehaw.org

I actually just learned of her earlier this year. If you want more info then check out these two Youtube vids which goes more into her life and why these cells are so important. They also explain the controversy behind the acquisition and use of these cells. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WU5uCiV0MyQ & https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22lGbAVWhro
