She was a poor Southerntobacco farmer who worked the same landas her slave ancestors, yet her cells—takenwithout her knowledge—became one of themost important tools in medicine. The first“immortal” human cells grown in culture, theyare still alive today, though she has been deadfor more than sixty years. If you could pile allHeLa cells ever grown onto a scale, they’dweigh more than 50 million metric tons—asmuch as a hundred Empire State Buildings.HeLa cells were vital for developing the poliovaccine; uncovered secrets of cancer, viruses,and the atom bomb’s effects; helped lead toimportant advances like in vitro fertilization,cloning, and gene mapping; and have beenbought and sold by the billions.Yet Henrietta Lacks remains virtuallyunknown, buried in an unmarked grave.3
