The real, human equivalent is "HeLa", taken without her consent from Henrietta Lacks in the 50s and grown endlessly since then: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HeLa

It was not "taken without her consent". It was part of a biopsy. And while it was kept without her consent, almost nobody has consent over what happens to removed body chunks. They're simply taken away no matter what the wishes are.

Why mention consent? The supreme court ruled it was not required.

The Supreme Court has had its share of bad rulings. http://blogs.findlaw.com/supreme_court/2015/10/13-worst-supr...
