The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks:

 "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" is a non-fiction book written by Rebecca Skloot, published in 2010. The book tells the remarkable and deeply compelling story of Henrietta Lacks, an African-American woman whose cells, known as HeLa cells, were taken without her knowledge or consent during a medical procedure in 1951. Henrietta Lacks died of cervical cancer at the young age of 31, but her cells proved to be extraordinary because they were the first to be successfully cultured and kept alive outside the human body.

The book weaves together two narratives. The first is the scientific and medical story of how Henrietta's cells, which were incredibly durable and multiplied rapidly, revolutionized biomedical research. HeLa cells have been instrumental in the development of numerous medical treatments, including the polio vaccine, and have been used in countless scientific experiments.

The second narrative is the deeply personal and ethical story of the Lacks family. For many years, they had no knowledge of the existence of these immortal cells, and when they discovered the truth, they struggled to come to terms with the fact that their mother's cells were being used in laboratories around the world. The book explores the ethical implications of medical research, patient consent, and the commercialization of human biological materials.

Rebecca Skloot spent years researching and interviewing the Lacks family, and she paints a vivid and empathetic portrait of Henrietta and her descendants, who faced numerous challenges and ethical dilemmas in the wake of her unwitting contribution to science. "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" is a thought-provoking and poignant work that delves into issues of medical ethics, racial disparities in healthcare, and the profound impact one woman's cells had on the world of science and medicine.
