There was a black pregnant mother in ga, who was not taken seriously when she went to Dr and she ended up dying, so they kept her on life support to keep the baby. Now her family will have to pay for the many months spent at the hospital

Henrietta Lacks was a black woman who had cells taken without consent, and companies made millions off of her , her kids found out later on and got no profits or anything
