Henrietta Lacks ...... 1920/1951
Her CELLS Are somewhat of an example of what IMMORTALITY would be. Physicians at John Hopkins seen something different in her cells, some were secretly taken from her and through their technique of cultivating her cells discovered her cells lived when they should have died as cells taken from others did within a couple of days and to their surprise her cells not only lived but continued to multiply. Using her cells up until this date in medical research, even covid vaccine. 20 years after her death family learned of this and really wants the world to know breakthroughs in medical research has come from the cells of a Black woman Henrietta Lacks.
