Additional helpful information I found useful.

You're kidding, right?
Are you 12? This is the worst synopsis I have ever encountered. Terrible use of language,grammar, spelling,syntax. If I had to grade it An F would be generous.

I can't believe, in 2023, I had never heard of HeLa cells. What an amazing true story about how cell therapy has evolved over the last 60 years. It's sad, tragic and controversial. If you're interested in your privacy and the ethics behind using your cells to advance science without your consent, you should read this book.

Well written and researched documentary that revealed not only the scientific discoveries related to Henrietta but also the human side of the research and times in which she lived. It gave me a new appreciation for the advances not only in medicine but in ethics as well.

I thought this book was an amazing combination of science and human interest story. Very well told.

Use of cell information from cancer ridden black woman. Used to create studies and cures for many more who follow, but she wasn't asked, nor did she receive credit.

Read the actual book- not the summary. Didn’t realize until I had already marked it as read.
