The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by George C. Wolfe
Her name was Henrietta Lacks, but scientists know her as HeLa. Her cancer cells - taken without her knowledge - became a multimilliondollar industry and one of the most important tools in medicine. This was without her ever being officially recognized as a donor or her family ever seeing a penny. Rebecca Skloot's fascinating account is the story of the life, and afterlife, of a woman who changed the medical world for ever.
