The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks

Description

This is a work of verifiable. No names have been changed, no characters designed, no occasions

manufactured. While composing this book, I directed in excess of a thousand hours of meetings with

loved ones of Henrietta Lacks, just as with legal advisors, ethicists, researchers, and columnists who’ve expounded on the Lacks family. I additionally depended on broad chronicled photographs and reports, logical and verifiable research, and the individual diaries of Henrietta’s little girl,

Deborah Lacks.

I’ve put forth a valiant effort to catch the language with which every individual talked and composed: exchange shows up in local tongues; entries from journals and other individual works are

cited precisely as composed. As one of Henrietta’s family members said to me, “In the event that you lovely up how

individuals talked and change the things they stated, that is untrustworthy. It’s removing their lives,

their encounters, and their selves.” In numerous spots I’ve embraced the words interviewees utilized

to depict their universes and encounters.
