The immortal HeLa cells and their source, Henrietta Lacks
via abcnews.go.com
ABC World News aired this story last Sunday, which includes a short interview clip with Rebecca Skloot, whose book The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks is just hitting the stores. And yes, the woman's name is Lacks - but lame as it seems, the ABC website and video have misspelt it!! The story itself is quite remarkable, and really well told. I will try to post a review of the book here as I'm hoping to finish reading it soon.
