The first "immortal" human cells grown in culture, they are still alive today, though she has been dead for more than sixty years. HeLa cells were vital for developing the polio vaccine; uncovered secrets of cancer and viruses; helped lead to in vitro fertilization, cloning, and gene mapping; and have been bought and sold by the billions. Yet Henrietta Lacks is buried in an unmarked grave. Her family did not learn of her "immortality" until more than twenty years after her death, when scientists began using her husband and children in research without informed consent. The story of the Lacks family is inextricably connected to the dark history of experimentation on African Americans, the birth of bioethics, and the legal battles over whether we control the stuff we are made of--From pubblisher description. 600 10 $a Lacks, Henrietta, $d 1920-51. $0 (local)tlcaut2011950427212800 650 0 $a Cancer $x Patients $v Biography. $0 (DLC)sh 85019520 650 0 $a African American women $x History. $0 (DLC)sh2009114001 650 0 $a Human experimentation in medicine $x History. $0 (DLC)sh 85062870 650 0 $a HeLa cells. $0 (DLC)sh 85059978 650 0 $a Cancer $x Research. $0 (DLC)sh 85019539 650 0 $a Cell culture. $0 (DLC)sh 85021642 650 0 $a Medical ethics. $0 (DLC)sh 85082929 650 2 $a African Americans. $0 (local)tlcaut2011651484752500 650 2 $a Confidentiality $x ethics. $0 (local)tlcaut2011953644088300 650 2 $a Hela Cells. $0 (local)tlcaut2011953890044100 650 2 $a History, 20th Century. $0 (local)tlcaut2011954124099700 650 2 $a Human Experimentation $x ethics. $0 (local)tlcaut2011954133672000 650 2 $a Prejudice. $0 (local)tlcaut2011954149987300 650 2 $a Tissue and Organ Procurement $x ethics. $0 (local)tlcaut2011954160317800 650 2 $a Tissue Donors. $0 (local)tlcaut2011954167562000 650 7 $a African American women. $0 (local)tlcaut2011954175507000 $2 fast. $0 (local)tlcaut2011954175507000 650 7 $a Cancer $x Patients $v Biography $2 fast. $0 (local)tlcaut2006318582880100 650 7 $a Cell culture. $0 (local)tlcaut2011954189111600 $2 fast. $0 (local)tlcaut2011954189111600 650 7 $a HeLa cells. $0 (local)tlcaut2008036156058500 $2 fast. $0 (local)tlcaut2008036156058500 650 7 $a Human experimentation in medicine. $0 (local)tlcaut2006477581461200 $2 fast. $0 (local)tlcaut2006477581461200 650 7 $a Medical ethics. $0 (local)tlcaut2011954202765800 $2 fast. $0 (local)tlcaut2011954202765800 650 7 $a Cancer $x Research $2 sears. $0 (local)tlcaut2006318582880100 650 7 $a African American women $x Health and hygiene $2 sears. $0 (local)tlcaut2011954214692900 650 7 $a Human experimentation in medicine $x History $2 sears. $0 (local)tlcaut2006412675943900 650 7 $a Cancer $x Research $2 sears. $0 (local)tlcaut2006318582880100 650 7 $a Cells. $2 sears. $0 (local)tlcaut2011954228336100 650 7 $a Medical ethics. $2 sears. $0 (local)tlcaut2011954202765800 650 0 $a Book Discussion Set. $0 (local)tlcaut2006438543980200 650 7 $a Cancer. $x Patients $2 local. $0 (local)tlcaut5841213494819600 650 7 $a Cancer. $x Research $2 local. $0 (local)tlcaut5841213494819600 651 0 $0 (DLC)n 78095330 $a United States. 655 2 $a Biography. 655 7 $a History. 941 $a 25 952 $l 90PB522 $d 20240815010526.0 952 $l CZPD706 $d 20240808010317.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710022246.0 952 $l CJPC482 $d 20240202015122.0 952 $l EYPC755 $d 20240117010432.0 952 $l UBPC631 $d 20231228011850.0 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214051345.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20231116010147.0 952 $l NWPC663 $d 20230720010916.0 952 $l VYPA964 $d 20230103012908.0 952 $l DMPC403 $d 20220906012635.0 952 $l HLPC845 $d 20220824010527.0 952 $l CGPC482 $d 20220526011800.0 952 $l REPC017 $d 20220407021952.0 952 $l YQPB532 $d 20220406013245.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20220330010148.0 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20211215022507.0 952 $l BIPB251 $d 20211215010836.0 952 $l KZPA953 $d 20211020011916.0 952 $l WAPD715 $d 20210924013135.0 952 $l A2PD787 $d 20200812032647.0 952 $l PEPC626 $d 20200627011012.0 952 $l RVPB135 $d 20191214031246.0 952 $l D8PD522 $d 20191211013024.0 952 $l CDPC522 $d 20191119015421.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=259F09482AA711E9A696796597128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
