Henrietta Lacks was an African American tobacco farmer and mother of five. She died in 1951, but her cells were kept and studied by scientists without the knowledge of her family. The cells have been genetically sequenced once again without consent.
It was Lawrence's wife, Bobette, who was the first member of the Lacks family to hear about Henrietta's cells. By chance, she had met a cancer researcher â and when she told him her name, the researcher remarked that he was working in the lab on some cells that came from a woman named Henrietta Lacks.
