However, there was no legal consent for biopsy tissues to be retrieved during treatment and used in laboratory research, because physicians and researchers believed that the act will contribute to the greater good for the society, which was encouraged and expected. Scientists knew little about cellular functions and mechanism, and they did not imagine that HeLa cells would be valuable in research and medical breakthroughs at the time.
