One includes a story of “white” doctors that snatch “black” people off the street to conduct medical experiments on them. Their fears weren’t that far off. Doctors, such as Lacks doctors, did not tell always tell their patients what they were doing or give their reasonings for doing it. Henrietta’s doctors didn’t tell her that they took tissue samples from her body.

Overall, I would recommend this book to
