He discovered that their understanding of HeLa was piecemeal at best and tried to explain cell science to them as well as he could.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the time, no one besides Deborah was too disturbed by their mother\u2019s cells\u2019 wide spread. <strong>But that changed when Rogers\u2019 story was published and the Lackses discovered that HeLa cells were not only distributed for free by nonprofit institutions but there were also HeLa cells for sale by commercial firms<\/strong>.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">HeLa Cells&#8217; Price and Profits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This revelation caused Sonny and Lawrence to believe that Hopkins and George Gey had gotten rich selling their mother\u2019s cells. <strong>The truth, however, was that Gey was a terrible businessman and never rich at all<\/strong>: He patented neither the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/immortal-cells-henrietta-lacks-cells\/\">HeLa cell line<\/a> nor the roller drum he created to culture cells\u2014either of which would have made him a multimillionaire\u2014and at times had trouble making payments on his modest house. And Hopkins has issued multiple statements asserting the institution has received no financial reward from HeLa cells for sale.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Microbiological Associates and Others Profit When You Buy HeLa Cells<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Other entities, however, have made fortunes on HeLa cells for sale<\/strong>. Microbiological Associates, one of the first commercial cell culture companies and earliest sellers of HeLa, was later incorporated by two of the largest biotech companies in the world. One of these companies companies that incorporated Microbiological Associates, Invitrogen, sells HeLa-derived products for anywhere from $100 to $10,000 per unit. And if you go to ATCC, which still exists, you can buy HeLa cells&#8217; cultures for $256 per vial.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Lacks Family Perspective<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Deborah, for her part, was more concerned with how her mother had been treated than recouping money<\/strong>. She bought books to educate herself on cell science and recorded heartbreaking journal entries imagining how lonely her mother must have been in the hospital. She also personified her mother\u2019s cells, and every time she read about their being subjected to new diseases and experiments, she imagined it was her <em>mother <\/em>undergoing those trials.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the appearance of the <em>Rolling Stone <\/em>article came further media inquiries, including from publications like <em>Jet <\/em>and <em>Ebony <\/em>that were marketed to African Americans. Given the historical moment, when memories of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/the-tuskegee-experiment-syphilis-study\/\">the Tuskegee syphilis study<\/a> were still fresh and the Black Panthers were accusing the white-dominated medical establishment of racism, a story involving the improper collection and commodification of a black woman\u2019s cells was timely news.&nbsp; HeLa cells for sale were just another example of ongoing racism.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Lawrence and Zakariyya have expressed interest intermittently in suing Hopkins, no Lacks family member has actually filed suit. There are merits to their case\u2014since HeLa cells are anything but anonymous, the family ought to be covered by the Common Rule; and since Henrietta\u2019s descendants share DNA with HeLa cells, they ought, under the Common Rule, to be able to remove HeLa cells from circulation\u2014but given the disruption a ruling like this would cause, legal experts are skeptical the suit would succeed. According to Sonny, the Lackses aren\u2019t eager to keep anyone from being able to buy HeLa cells to use in research anyway. <strong>He believes Deborah would want their mother\u2019s cells to continue helping people<\/strong>. HeLa\u2019s miraculous role in 20th-century science is a source of pride for the family.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you buy HeLa cells, who profits?
