This is a story about HeLa, the immortal cells, and Henrietta Lacks, who was the owner of these cells. This story recounts the history of progress in human medicine, the research and development of cancer vaccines, cloning technology and gene mapping. It raises the discussion on medical ethics, the ownership of body tissues, the right to in-formed consent, and cultural beliefs. How did HeLa cells come into being? Why are these cells immortal? What’s the significance of the birth of HeLa? The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks will tell you the details of this story.
The book was written by Rebecca Skloot, a well-known science writer in the United States, a correspondent for PBS’s NOVA science NOW, and a contributing editor at Popular Science magazine. Rebecca spent more than 10 years researching and interviewing to complete her first work, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. Before the publication of this book, she established the Henrietta Lacks Foundation to help those who had contributed to scientific research without compensation.
