What spin do you refer to? Shouldn't society be able to benefit from a novel cell line, regardless of the origin? If it were you or me, wouldn't we gladly donate the knowledge and utility of our cells if they can serve mankind? So what if we are not reimbursed or attributed? That's a minor misfortune that pales in contrast to the ultimate societal impact.
Haven't several things been done for her family retroactively? If not, then we should honor them/her because we can.
Lastly in respect to her cell line, I do object to all the patents that have been made in relation. All of this should be public knowledge.
- carbocation 16y agoYour last line was going to be my reply to the questions in your first paragraph, so I think we're mostly in agreement.
- possibilistic 16y agoYes, that part is unfortunate. WRT your username, I love mispronouncing carbocations as carbo-cashuns.
