Her dead at 31 is tragic...if that is the point then yes

The point of the article was to highlight how her cells contributed to society and Benjamin Crump is trying to get them paid.

Nothing tragic about that....the fact that millions of people Benefited from treatments is a miracle

It's clearly a violation of her personal privacy. A HIPPA violation. A violation of the medical industry and this shyt happened over 60 years ago with no compensation or anything...fukk that. I'd need a dollar from every person who benefited from my ancestor genes if I was related to her and I don't give a fukk if that's unreasonable request cuz what they STOLE from her was unreasonable

Breh, it's a tragedy that they basically stole parts of her body.

It was criminal, cynical and wicked.

She wasn't a soda to be consumed. She was a human being.

If a part of your body was found to benefit science would you give it away?
