The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
by
"It is an amazing and true story of how science used an unfortunate women's cells without her knowledge. Many got rich by propagating and selling her special cancer cells while her family continued to be impoverished. They had no idea that her cells were even taken/stolen. Henrietta never gave consent. Who has the "rights" to her cells? Some interesting historical and scientific/ethical questions here.
