In this article the author starts off by telling the story of Henrietta Lacks and how HeLa cells began. The majority of the article is about the ethical issue of informed consent. The author includes examples from the book The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks relating to this issue. It proposes that human cells should not be treated so carelessly. This article would be most helpful to someone who is doing research about the topic of informed consent back in the 1950s and could be used to compare it to today's time.
This is also a great source relating to bioethics in general, since it deals with how cells should be treated, so this source could help with someone writing about that as well.
