The Untold History of Henrietta Lacks and Her Miracle Cells

One of the most important scientific discoveries of the last century was the first immortal human cell line, known as “HeLa”. It enabled significant medical breakthroughs, including the development of the polio vaccine, genetic mapping and even COVID-19 vaccines. But for decades no one knew that the name 'HeLa' stood for Henrietta Lacks, an African American mother who died of an aggressive cervical cancer. It was thanks to Henrietta Lacks that science had been given these miracle cells, and yet, the samples had been taken from her without her knowledge and without her consent. Bioethics expert and the James B.Duke Professor of English & African American Studies at Duke University Karla FC Holloway tells Marc Fennell (Stuff the British Stole) about the woman behind the famous cells, a life that has obscured. And she discusses the role that race and gender played in Henrietta Lacks' story and the injustices that persist in medicine even today.

INTRODUCING — Who's Gonna Save Us?

This isn't a podcast about how climate change is real – we've known that for a long time. And it's not another show about the devastation climate change is causing, or how we got here. Because we don't need to talk about the problem anymore. We know what's going on. This is a show about how much better things could be, and the people who are fighting to get us there. Reporters from the science team at ABC RN and triple j Hack have been travelling around the country to meet the people bringing about real change and coming up with authentic climate solutions. If we want to avoid a climate catastrophe … WHO'S GONNA SAVE US?
