Lacks 遗产管理方就 HeLa 细胞起诉 Thermo Fisher Scientific
提起诉讼
Henrietta Lacks 的遗产管理方起诉 Thermo Fisher Scientific,指称该公司持续商业化源自 HeLa 细胞的成果,而这些细胞是在 Lacks 不知情或未同意的情况下取得的。诉讼要求公司交出相关净利润,并请求禁止其未经遗产管理方许可使用这些细胞;这些指控并非文中所述的法院认定。
来源摘录
Lacks' cells were harvested and developed long before the advent of consent procedures used in medicine and scientific research today, but lawyers for her family say Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., of Waltham, Massachusetts, has continued to commercialize the results well after the origins of the HeLa cell line became well known.
The estate of Henrietta Lacks sued a biotechnology company on Monday, accusing it of selling cells that doctors at Johns Hopkins Hospital took from the Black woman in 1951 without her knowledge or consent as part of "a racially unjust medical system."
The lawsuit asks the court to order Thermo Fisher Scientific to "disgorge the full amount of its net profits obtained by commercializing the HeLa cell line to the Estate of Henrietta Lacks." It also wants Thermo Fisher Scientific to be permanently enjoined from using HeLa cells without the estate's permission.
