miduhadi 's review for:

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot

3.0

---

Her cells might be immortal but the story of Henrietta Lacks didn't come to light until much recently. With those tumorous cells, science has advanced by leaps and bounds and yet she never consented to their use in her life nor was she hailed for her contribution. The author describes how she reached out to Lacks' family and told the story as they'd have wanted it told.

P.S. Anything you leave at a hospital, skin cells, nails, blood, etc. is technically no longer your property. Scary thought huh?
