W.I.R.N. - THE IMMORTAL LIFE OF HENRIETTA LACKS

W.I.R.N. - What I'm Reading Now





I'm buying this book today, "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" but really though!?!

It's the story of one woman's TRULY immortal cells, and her contribution to modern science, unbeknownst to herself...some Siriusly madd science right here.

I think EVERYONE should read this.

  1. After what was revealed about how the medical professionals conducted their syphilis experiments on Africa Americans - I can only imagine whatelse, aside from what happened to Henriette Lacks, has yet to be uncovered. Having rights in a hospital back then was an illusion, especially if you were black! Great site. I'm your new follower. Maybe you'd like to follow me? http://darkmoneyside.blogspot.com/ Thanks!
