Since the laws were not in place at the time it is trivial to say that her family should have received compensation. The question is how can her family receive what they deserve today? Her two eldest grandsons wish to be made aware of how her cells are used and are not asking for ownership of the cells.

Therefore she should be recognized and respected. To do that scientists should be made aware that she has surviving family members who do not wish to see her cells misused.
