Take Your Meds-It's A New Book Review:
If you have ever read the story of Henrietta Lacks told by Rebecca Skloot (if you haven't you should)there is no way you would ever forget it. More than learning of the great attributions Mrs. Lacks cells have given to science, you learn of the 'lack' of respect, attention, and financial gain contributed to her family. It hurts the heart and sensibilities to know how rich others became while Henrietta's family barely made it through life. The book also informs the readers of the mistreatment in medical studies. practices and research performed on males and female African-Americans. This is a must read book and will soon be made into a movie through HARPO productions.The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks Named by more than 60 critics as one of the best books of 2010. Amazon
