The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In an intertwined tale that becomes enlightening and important, Skloot explains to read and guides in hand Lacks' family through a twisted history of changing medical ethics and one woman's family's frustrated attempts to learn the impact and understand the relevance to cancer and bioligical resarch the long-lived strain of their relative' cells.
