The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot. "Doctors took her cells without asking. These cells never died. They launched a medical revolution and a multimillion dollar industry. More than twenty years later, her children found out. Their lives would never be the same." The author spent ten years researching and writing this book. It is factual, interesting, disturbing and will give you many ethical questions to answer and ponder. lyn
