      About the Book

      Acclaimed author Skloot brilliantly weaves together the story of Henrietta Lacks--a woman whose cells have been unwittingly used for scientific research since the 1950s--with the birth of bioethics, and the dark history of experimentation on African Americans.

          Comments about The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks:

          Interesting story of a family and their legacy. Readers should take note that what we think we own and have rights to may not always be cut and dry!

          Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
