At this time doctors were trying to grow cells to help cure disease. So, when Henrietta got cancer they took her cells with out asking her.

Keeping the important details and getting rid of the “fluff”. But overall, I would strongly recommend this book to anyone it was very interesting and I learned so much from this book and it helped me understand more about why there are so many rules that go with the medical field. I would also recommend this book to anyone that likes learning about science or what life and the medical field was like in the 1950’s. I know and I truly would like everyone to think about what is written in the text. It's something that should be talked about constantly. Ethics is a huge debate in the scientific community and everyone should be aware of this debate. If you get a chance, please read this book.
I really actually like this book. The Immortal Life Henrietta Lacks is a book that if I would not have had to read it for not taking this class. But I truly like this book. And when I say this it was a good book because I am not a
