HeLa Cells = Hella Cells!
I don’t think there will be any payoff though.

I kind of like this. Pass the popcorn, please.

Somebody is looking for a check. When I read “Ben Crump” I realized it was a big shakedown.

The family will likely get their money and rightfully so.

I don’t like the “racial injustice” angle, but the cells were hers and I think her family deserves compensation.

I thought they had already done something like this.
At the time that all of this happened, I don’t believe there were any laws or regulations regarding the use of cells like these.

Law and Order had a great episode on this very thing.
In the show they got lots of money.
I wish this family well.

I doubt they’ll receive anything, if Law - and not ‘wokeness’ - is followed.

Ben Crump again. Not surprised.

In this case, there should have been payouts to the immediate family; sons, daughters.
and this late?
TONS of payouts to sons, daughters.
and if they’re dead, grandsons and daughters.
but, only once.
