Her cells changed science forever, but her story went unheard. The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks unveils the hidden life of Henrietta Lacks, a tobacco farmer whose cells, taken without her consent, became the first “immortal” human cells in culture—HeLa cells. These cells have played a vital role in medical breakthroughs, from the polio vaccine to gene mapping, yet her family never benefited from the discoveries her cells enabled.
This unforgettable story explores the ethics of medical research, the legacy of racial injustice, and the personal journey of the Lacks family to uncover the truth. A must-read for those interested in history, science, and human rights, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot is available at Preloved Book Shop for $9: https://prelovedbookshop.com.au/book/the-immortal-life-of-henrietta-lacks/
