Second Summer book review: The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks

Wow! What a great book...I read it in a day!! I knew of the story of HeLa cells & Henrietta Lacks but not the whole story. This book gives the human side of a family coming to grips with science they didn't understand and research they couldn't comprehend and the life of a mother they never knew. This book grapples with the legal, ethical and moral rights of patients and medical research . This book also honestly confronts the history of medical experimentation without informed consent. The world owes a debt to this African American woman whose name should be a househould name.
