I'm seeing comments on experimenting on people. Not sure if utilizing cells from a biopsy is experimenting "on people". I guess that's a medical ethics and philosophical discussion that does not have a correct answer.
It's definitely an ethic issue. Her cells were obtained without consent (a big, big medical issue) while she was receiving treatment at John Hopkins. Those cells were obviously used for a lot of good but no one was ever compensated.
Now the Tuskegee syphillis study is a whole other beast and poor, black men were definitely experimented on.
