23andme requires you to agree to what they ask, which is far more than what Johns Hopkins did for Henrietta Lacks.

Informed consent laws were around well before The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks came out. I think there were earlier publicized examples of subject mistreatment (like Tuskegee) that already pushed the field to be better.
