HeLa cells are a great find in the science community and Henrietta Lacks' unique cells are still helping us today. They are perfect for important studies such as cancer, cell biology, genetics, and infectious diseases. Since now we have these unique immortal cells it is quite easy to start any scientific testing on human cells since their is an endless supply. Personally, I believe Henrietta Lacks will live on forever as a hero and mother of modern scientific advancements, since she quite literally, grew all of the modern cell research we have today.
