So does every living thing on earth... HeLa cells are remarkably adapted to growing in biology labs, not sure how they'd fare outside... Edit: it's been proposed as Helacyton gartleri, but not widely accepted because "Van Valen's argument of HeLa being a new species does not fulfill the criteria for an independent unicellular asexually reproducing species because of the notorious instability of HeLa's karyotype and their lack of a strict ancestral-descendant lineage." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HeLa#New_species_proposal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HeLa#New_species_proposal
