SUMMARY:116 - The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot
LOCATION:The Ostrich Pub
DESCRIPTION:Saved in Palaner as: saved\n\nPalaner match: 32% · why: lots of
  people going\n\nA heartbreaking account of a medical miracle: how one wom
 an’s cells – taken without her knowledge – have saved countless lives. The
  Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks is a true story of race\, class\, injust
 ice and exploitation.\n\n‘No dead woman has done more for the living . . .
  A fascinating\, harrowing\, necessary book.’ – Hilary Mantel\, Guardian\n
 \nHer name was Henrietta Lacks\, but scientists know her as HeLa. Born a p
 oor black tobacco farmer\, her cancer cells – taken without her knowledge 
 – became a multimillion-dollar industry and one of the most important tool
 s in medicine. Yet Henrietta’s family did not learn of her ‘immortality’ u
 ntil more than twenty years after her death\, with devastating consequence
 s . . .\n\nRebecca Skloot’s moving account is the story of the life\, and 
 afterlife\, of one woman who changed the medical world forever. Balancing 
 the beauty and drama of scientific discovery with dark questions about who
  owns the stuff our bodies are made of\, The Immortal Life of Henrietta La
 cks is an extraordinary journey in search of the soul and story of a real 
 woman\, whose cells live on today in all four corners of the world.\n\nNow
  an HBO film starring Oprah Winfrey and Rose Byrne.
