That is what I meant by exploitation. It might not be the best word, but much of what I was thinking was subsequently thought of by others, so I think communication occurred. I was saying that it is an issue that is worthy of debate, and it seems no one is disagreeing.
One more thought is that even if the greater good is served, basic human rights can conflict. There is a limit what you can do to the "few" in order to benefit the "many". As far as comparing it to other situations, I think this is a little different in that we're still using her exact cells.
I think it's debatable enough to withhold harsh judgement of those who decide it's wrong (which I already said). I think it's worth considering that the acceptance of the products of exploitation (violation of rights for other's benefits?) might encourage future exploitation if the payoff is perceived to be great enough. Most people don't want that.
