Henrietta Lacks response to quote

I wholeheartedly disagree with this. I am proud and happy over what my cells have done for science.  They have helped so many people by creating a polio and an HPV vaccine.  However, my husband and my kids have always meant the most to me, and I put their wellbeing before anyone else's.  They are poor and suffering from many health problems.  They all have Hugh blood pressure and diabetes, my husband Day even lost a foot from it.  They're problems could easily be helped if they had any money from my cells.  While I am incredibly happy that my cells have helped so many people, I only wish the doctors who took them could help my family too
