Comments by Johnnetta Kelly about the book:
"The author says her inspiration for writing this book started in a biology classroom with a teacher who introduced HeLa cells and the name Henrietta Lacks. This lesson led to a journey of discovery and a moving story.
Doctors took her cells without asking. Those cells never died. They launched a medical revolution and multi-million dollar industry. More than twenty years later, her children found out. Their lives would never be the same.
During national health month, this book offers ethical challenges regarding life, science, research, the protection of vulnerable human subjects, and much more. The book should be on the must-read list for scientists, health professionals, and students of life."
