Off the Shelf: The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
This book is constantly turning up on lists for local book groups. It is a book filled with a multitude of questions and issues that are just ripe for a discussion group.
In 1951 Henrietta Lacks, a mother of five in Baltimore was diagnosed with cervical cancer. She sought treatment at Johns Hopkins, a charity hospital and the only one around that treated black patients.
Before administering radium for the first time, the attending doctor cut two dime-size samples of tissue, one cancerous and one healthy, from Lacks's cervix. No one asked permission or even informed her.
The doctor gave the tissue to George Gey, a scientist who had been trying to establish a continuously reproducing, or “immortal," human cell line for use in cancer research.
According to protocol, a lab assistant scribbled an abbreviation of Lacks's name, "HeLa," on the sample tubes. HeLa succeeded where all other human samples had failed. Gey gave away laboratory-grown cells to interested colleagues.
