neab92 's review for:

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot

3.0

---

I don't normally choose to read non fiction, but I'm glad I read this book. Rebecca Skloot did a fearless job of research to bring the Lacks family story to light. Numerous issues are touched on, not only the way the cells were taken for study without informed consent, but also race, poverty, medical ethics and research ethics, to name a few.
