Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks

Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot
This is a non-fiction book that reads like fiction. I don't usually like non-fiction, but this is so interesting and has a great flow. It's about an african american woman whose cells were harvested without her knowledge, in a time before informed consent. Her cells are still alive today and have helped us find a cure for polio and many other diseases, also started a multi-million dollar industry of cell production. Excelent.

The new rating is 3. Thanks for rating!
