had (still have) significant medical value, thousands of lives saved and so many made better... Henrietta Lacks was the right person at the right time and her cells were taken w/o permission... and her family has become crucial part a of her legacy

I would guess that there are people who have received the Congressional Gold Medal because they were "the right person at the right time"

I applaud the recognition
