☆ Opinion | The Unsettled Debate at the Heart of the Henrietta Lacks Case
  + stars: | 2023-08-04 | by ( Peter Coy | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
To an ordinary person, the answer is obviously yes. Lacks, a Black mother of five, was dying of cervical cancer in 1951 when doctors at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore biopsied tissues from her cervix. Whatever the case, cells from the research sample were later found to be highly valuable because they were the first that could divide indefinitely in a laboratory. And cells are “de-identified,” unlike Lacks’s cells, which are named HeLa to this day. What’s still debated is whether people have a legitimate ownership claim in the first place.

☆ Family of Henrietta Lacks finally settles lawsuit against biotech company accused of profiting billions of dollars from collecting the Black woman's cancer cells without her consent
  + stars: | 2023-08-01 | by ( Lea Skene | Sarah Brumfield | Associated Press | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
Henrietta Lacks changed modern medicine when doctors took her cells without her consent in 1951. Despite that incalculable impact, the Lacks family had never been compensated. Henrietta Lacks' cells have been part of many medical breakthroughs. "The exploitation of Henrietta Lacks represents the unfortunately common struggle experienced by Black people throughout history," the complaint reads. "It was a long fight — over 70 years — and Henrietta Lacks gets her day."

☆ Australian professor among three hostages released in Papua New Guinea - report
  + stars: | 2023-02-26 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +1 min
SYDNEY, Feb 26 (Reuters) - An Australian professor, held for a week by armed men in a remote part of Papua New Guinea, has been released along with two local colleagues, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported on Sunday. A group of archaeology researchers, including the professor working for an Australian university, two Papua New Guinean university graduates and a programme coordinator were taken hostage by last Sunday by men demanding a cash ransom, officials have said. Release of the three would end days of negotiations and a security operation involving Papua New Guinea police and defence personnel, in consultation with the Australian and New Zealand governments, according to the ABC. The professor is an Australian resident and New Zealand citizen. At that time, Papua New Guinea police said they were working for a "peaceful resolution" to the situation.
