John Hopkins Hospital is founded
--This is where Henrietta was treated.Alexis Carrel claims to have successfully grown
"immortal" chicken-heart cells
--This is the original immortal cell line.Henrietta Lacks is born in Roanoke, Virginia
--She has begun her journey.The Nuremberg Code is produced
--This is a set of ethical standards
for experiments.George Gey uses cells from Henrietta's
cervix to create the first immortal
human cell line / It is named HeLa
--Henrietta's cells have started a major
journey of scientific discovery.
Henrietta dies of an unusually
aggressive strain of cervical cancer
--Henrietta is gone, but her cells remain.HeLa cells become the first living
cells shipped via postal mail
--Her cells are spreading to other
scientists.
The Tuskegee Institute opens the
first nonprofit "HeLa Factory"
--This was able to supply her cells
to laboratories and researchers.
Scientists use HeLa cells to help
develop the polio vaccine
--Her cells make a major scientific
advance.HeLa cells become
the first cells ever
cloned
--Yet another
advance in science."Helen Lane" first appears
in print
--Henrietta is not properly
credited.
Chester Southam conducts
experiments without
patient consent to see if
injections of HeLa cells
could cause cancer
--Lack of informed consent
becomes more popular
amongst researchers.The term "informed consent"
first appears in court documents
--Lack of informed consent is
recognized as a problem.HeLa cells are fused with mouse
cells
--These are the first animal-human
hybrid cells.
The Board of Regents of the
University of the State of New
York find Southam guilty
--They call for stricter guidelines
for human research subjects and
informed consent.Institutional review boards must
approve of funded research
--This is a way to make sure
informed consent is used.
Stanley Gartler drops the "HeLa
Bomb" and says that the cells
have contaminated other cell lines
--This could affect many experiments.George Gey dies of pancreatic
cancer
--The man that started HeLa
is dead.For the first time in print
Henrietta is identified as
the source of HeLa
--Henrietta is finally
credited.The Lacks family learns that
Henrietta's cells are still alive
--Her family finally found out
after about 22 years.
Researchers from John Hopkins
take cells from Henrietta's kids
for further research without
informed consent.
--They are once again oblivious
to what is happening.The Common Rule is formed
--This requires informed
consent for all human-subject
research.Michael Rogers publishes
an article in "Rolling Stone"
about HeLa and the Lacks
family
--Her family now know
about her being
commercialized.Some of Henrietta's medical records
are published without her families
knowledge or consent
--Her family is once again blind to
societies actions.A report is published that states
307 million tissue samples from
more than 178 million people
are stored in the US / most were
taken without consent
--This issue affects much more
than just Henrietta.
