### Lab-Grown Meat and HeLa Cancer Cells

- **Episode:** [1569: Hydrating](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1569-hydrating.md)
- **Published:** 2023-07-02
- **Time:** 33:52–36:18
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1569-hydrating/chapter/lab-grown-meat-and-hela-cancer-cells.md

A viral report claims that lab-grown meat utilizes "immortalized cells," which are essentially pre-cancerous or cancerous cells capable of rapid replication. The discussion references Henrietta Lacks, whose cervical cancer cells (HeLa) have been used in medical research for decades without her family's initial consent. The hosts express disgust at the prospect of marketing "tumor burgers" as a sustainable food alternative.

### Henrietta Lacks, Genetic Resistance, Faith Healers

The discussion touches on individuals with natural genetic resistance to HIV and the historical case of Henrietta Lacks, whose "HeLa" cells were used for decades in medical research without her family's consent. This leads to a brief tangent on faith healers and the potential for physical "healers" to transfer beneficial exosomes through touch.
