Henrietta's cancer conditions got worse over time; death was a better option for her. Gey and Mary took advantage of Henrietta's death by taking an autopsy after Henrietta died and gathering data from that. The autopsy further supported the cell experiment carried out by Gey. Everyone knows of the widespread immortal cells, but no one appreciated the original owner or acknowledged her hardship throughout her cancer stages.
