sandmanda11 's review for:
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
by Rebecca Skloot
SUCH an important read - eye-opening and well written. I learned so much about not only the science of cells and testing, but the history of racist testing on Black people. Henrietta's story (and her kids' stories) are heartbreaking and all too real for anyone who's grown up in poverty. In the end, it's hard to feel for scientists who so obviously care only about their own work instead of the lives they've affected...but then you have to think: where would we be without them? And, moreso, where would we be without Henrietta?
