The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks

Very interesting story about how cells taken from a cancer victim turned out to be special and revolutionized the way cells could be used in study and drug testing. Also, sad story about the family of the cell "donor" and some questions around the ethical implications of using human materials for science.
