The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks

The HeLa cells are a groundbreaking scientific discovery that has revolutionized the field of medicine.

These immortal cells, taken without Henrietta Lacks' knowledge or consent, have been instrumental in developing vaccines, understanding cancer and viruses, and advancing in vitro fertilization, cloning, and gene mapping.

Despite her immense contribution to science, Henrietta remains virtually unknown, buried in an unmarked grave.

This book sheds light on the ethical implications of using human cells for scientific research and the impact it has had on Henrietta's family.

It is a powerful and thought-provoking read that will leave you questioning the moral boundaries of science and medicine.
