Discover the incredible true story of Henrietta Lacks, a young mother and poor tobacco farmer whose life changed the world forever without her knowledge. In this episode of Honourable Mentions, we explore the complex legacy of the woman behind the immortal cells that fueled decades of scientific breakthroughs.

​From the development of the polio vaccine to gene mapping, Henrietta’s cells have saved millions of lives—yet her story is also one of deep racial injustice in 1951 America. We dive into the medical ethics of the era, the critical importance of medical consent, and the ongoing conversation surrounding bodily autonomy.

​Join us as we pay tribute to the "Mother of Modern Medicine" and uncover how one woman’s unwitting contribution became the bedrock of contemporary science.
