Doctors took a biopsy of her aggressive cervical cancer without her knowledge or consent. Henrietta died months later, but her cells did something no human cells had ever done before in a lab: they didnt die. They multiplied."The Immortal Woman" tells the story of the "HeLa" cell line, the first immortal human cells ever grown in culture.
