Short Review: This was an excellent book. It covers the history of the HeLa cell culture line, the biography of Henrietta Lacks and her family since the start of the cell line. It is very good about exploring the ethical implications of medical research and the legal issues around medical research. It does this all the while keeping the focus on a good story. I will watch for more books by Rebecca Skloot.
