A review by mrsskoglund
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot

4.0

This was a fascinating story that has important implications for patient rights, privacy issues, and the intersection of race and healthcare. At times, the chronology and scientific explanations got a little confusing, but the overall message was strong. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes science and is interested in one of the most important health discoveries of the 20th century--and it's probably one you've never even heard about.
