#black exploitation

A federal judge heard a motion Tuesday to dismiss the lawsuit against biotech company Thermo Fisher Scientific, which is being accused of reproducing and selling Henrietta Lacks’ tissue, per CBS Baltimore. The family, represented by civil rights attorney Ben Crump, allege the cells were taken without her permission.

The case began in 1951 when Henrietta went to John Hopkins Hospital for cervical cancer treatment, per CBS Baltimore’s report. Doctors found through a biopsy that her cancer cells were doubling instead of dying, a discovery that would play a major role in medical research. As a result, the cells were used (and still are today) for developing vaccines and treatments for various diseases.

The family sued the company, claiming they took the cells and redistributed them without permission. However, Thermo Fisher Scientific argued there was no law that prohibited them to do so.
