The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
Rebecca Skloot
Your Price* $8.99
In the 1950s a Black woman named Henrietta Lacks had cells taken from her without consent at Johns Hopkins, and those cells went on to become one of the most important tools in the history of medicine while her family remained in poverty and ignorance about what had been done. Skloot tells both stories, the science and the human cost, with equal care. Essential and impossible to put down.
