The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
I'm just going to say it, I think that Henrietta Lacks and all other people whose tissues have made commercial contributions to science have been robbed. No else should be able to patent or own any part of an individuals body. Royalties would be a reasonable way to make payments to individuals and their heirs. Science is not a noble, altruistic, perfect god. It is used as an excuse for theft.
