This famous cell line began as a sample taken from a poor African American mother of five named Henrietta Lacks.<br /> <br /> A cancer patient, Henrietta Lacks went through medical testing but never gave consent for the use of her cells. She died of cervical cancer in 1951, without ever knowing that the samples were intended for extensive medical research.<br /> <br /> This summary of the #1 <em>New York Times</em> bestseller by Rebecca Skloot tells Henrietta's story and reveals what happened when her family found out that her cells were being bought and sold in labs around the world.<br /> <br /> With historical context, character profiles, a timeline of key events, and other features, this summary and analysis of <em>The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks</em> is intended to complement your reading experience and bring you closer to a great work of nonfiction.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Worth Books' smart summaries get straight to the point and provide essential tools to help you be an informed reader in a busy world, whether you're browsing for new discoveries, managing your to-read list for work or school, or simply deepening your knowledge.
