The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks

Author: Rebecca Skloot
Stars: 4
Review by: queenbee
Destination: VA


Wow...very intense...excellent...alarming. Elements of racism, science, religion, ethics, family, history. Biography meets science with lots of things to think about.  Glad I was born here, and now.

Henrietta Lacks story is told with compassion and the kind of honesty that sometimes makes you want to look away. Should be required reading for everyone involved in the science of medicine.
