The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks

This is a must-read by everyone! It tells of people being taken advantage of, but that is not the main point. We all have benefited in some way by these immortal cells.
I was not sure how so much science could be understandable to a non-scientist like me, but there is enough definition to get the picture. The people are so interesting! The story moves so fast that it is a real page-turner.
I cannot recommend this book more.
