HeLa Cells

Henrietta Lack passed away from cervical cancer in October of 1951. Her cancer cells have been growing in labs all over the world ever since. She has saved many lives and allowed the medical community to study and test cancer cells. We stained and examined these cells today and held a socratic seminar into "medical morality".
