George Gey declined to identify Henrietta Lacks to journalists primarily to protect her family's privacy and dignity. He believed that revealing her identity could lead to unwanted attention and exploitation, especially given the ethical issues surrounding the use of her cells without consent. Gey's decision reflected a broader concern for ethical practices in medical research and the treatment of individuals from whom biological materials are derived.
