On Henrietta Lacks
[By Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA]
I am from Baltimore, Maryland and grew up playing stick ball in the parking lot of Johns Hopkins Hospital. I met more than a few medical luminaries and so I also know this legendary story. It is now passed on for your amazement!

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
The true story of Henrietta Lacks is almost too over-the-top to believe, but it happened and it’s outrageous. Unbeknownst to Lacks, she had cells taken from her in 1951 that were used in many different types of medical research, including vaccine studies. Her cells were bought and sold with abandon. As an impoverished tobacco farmer, Lacks is at the center of an ethical debacle of epic proportions.
