Haar naam was Henrietta Lacks, maar de medische wereld kent haar als HeLa. In de jaren '50 werden haar kankercellen zonder dat zij dat wist bij haar weggenomen. Met behulp van deze cellen, die letterlijk onsterfelijk zijn, werden de meest uiteenlopende geneeskundige ontdekkingen gedaan en rond de verkoop ervan ontstond een miljoenenindustrie. Het leven van Henrietta bleef echter vrijwel onbekend en ook haar familie wist tot ruim dertig jaar geleden niet van het bestaan van de cellen af. Rebecca Skloot vertelt het verhaal van de 'HeLa-cellen', maar laat ons vooral ook kennis maken met Henrietta, haar verleden en haar familie, die nog steeds worstelt met de nalatenschap van de cellen. Ze laat zien dat het verhaal van de familie Lacks onlosmakelijk verbonden is met de duistere geschiedenis van het experimenteren met Afrikaans-Amerikanen, het ontstaan van de ethiek binnen de biologie en de juridische strijd over de vraag of we de baas zijn over de materie waarvan we zijn gemaakt.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “The story of modern medicine and bioethics—and, indeed, race relations—is refracted beautifully, and movingly.”—Entertainment Weekly NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE FROM HBO® STARRING OPRAH WINFREY AND ROSE BYRNE • ONE OF THE “MOST INFLUENTIAL” (CNN), “DEFINING” (LITHUB), AND “BEST” (THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER) BOOKS OF THE DECADE • ONE OF ESSENCE’S 50 MOST IMPACTFUL BLACK BOOKS OF THE PAST 50 YEARS • WINNER OF THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE HEARTLAND PRIZE FOR NONFICTION NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York Times Book Review • Entertainment Weekly • O: The Oprah Magazine • NPR • Financial Times • New York • Independent (U.K.) • Times (U.K.) • Publishers Weekly • Library Journal • Kirkus Reviews • Booklist • Globe and Mail Her name was Henrietta Lacks, but scientists know her as HeLa. She was a poor Southern tobacco farmer who worked the same land as her slave ancestors, yet her cells—taken without her knowledge—became one of the most important tools in medicine: The first “immortal” human cells grown in culture, which are still alive today, though she has been dead for more than sixty years. HeLa cells were vital for developing the polio vaccine; uncovered secrets of cancer, viruses, and the atom bomb’s effects; helped lead to important advances like in vitro fertilization, cloning, and gene mapping; and have been bought and sold by the billions. Yet Henrietta Lacks remains virtually unknown, buried in an unmarked grave. Henrietta’s family did not learn of her “immortality” until more than twenty years after her death, when scientists investigating HeLa began using her husband and children in research without informed consent. And though the cells had launched a multimillion-dollar industry that sells human biological materials, her family never saw any of the profits. As Rebecca Skloot so brilliantly shows, the story of the Lacks family—past and present—is inextricably connected to the dark history of experimentation on African Americans, the birth of bioethics, and the legal battles over whether we control the stuff we are made of. Over the decade it took to uncover this story, Rebecca became enmeshed in the lives of the Lacks family—especially Henrietta’s daughter Deborah. Deborah was consumed with questions: Had scientists cloned her mother? Had they killed her to harvest her cells? And if her mother was so important to medicine, why couldn’t her children afford health insurance? Intimate in feeling, astonishing in scope, and impossible to put down, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks captures the beauty and drama of scientific discovery, as well as its human consequences.

A middle-grade adaptation of Rebecca Skloot's critically acclaimed, New York Times nonfiction bestseller Henrietta Lacks was a poor Southern tobacco farmer who worked the same land as her slave ancestors, and whose cells--taken without her knowledge when she was treated for cancer in 1951--have become one of the most important tools in medicine. The Lacks family did not learn of Henrietta's cells until 20 years after her death, but these first "immortal" human cells grown in culture are still alive today: they've been bought and sold by the billions and have been vital in fighting polio, cancer, and many viruses. This incredible book explores race, bioethics, scientific research, human rights, the power of family, and the question of whether we control the very cells we're made of.

"En fascinerande bok", betyg 4 - Yukiko Duke i Gomorron Sverige "Djupt förbryllad har jag läst en intressant bok, som ställer frågor om min egen dödlighet." - PO Enqvist i Expressen "En av de märkvärdigaste böcker jag läst... en enastående historia" - Ingalill Mosander i Aftonbladet "En märkvärdig bok, omöjlig att lägga ifrån sig." - Oline Stig i Sydsvenskan "En av de mest utsökta och rörande faktaböcker jag läst." - New York Times I januari 1951 diagnosticerades Henrietta Lacks med cancer. Nio månader senare avled hon. Men de cellprov som hennes läkare tog lever fortfarande. De har gett upphov till tre Nobelpris, de låg till grund för poliovaccinet, de har varit på månen. Men ingen kände till den fattiga, svarta tobaksodlaren som var alltings upphov. Den odödliga Henrietta Lacks är en storartad berättelse om vetenskapens fantastiska förmåga att skapa ett bra liv för oss alla. Men också en tragisk historia om krocken mellan medicin, etik och ras. Och inte minst en djupt skakande berättelse om en dotter som förtärdes av frågor om sin mor som hon aldrig fick lära känna.

Hendes navn var Henrietta Lacks, men videnskaben kendte hende som HeLa. Hun var en fattig sort tobaks arbejder, hvis celler – som blev taget uden hendes vidende i 1951 – blev et af de vigtigste redskaber i den medicinske forskning; centrale for udviklingen af polio vaccinen, kloning, kortlægning af gener osv. Henriettas celler er blevet købt og solgt i milliardvis; alligevel er hun stadig stort set ukendt, og hendes familie har ikke råd til en sundhedsforsikring. Denne fremragende New York Times-bestseller fortæller en medrivende historie om sammenstødet mellem etik, race og lægevidenskab; om videnskabelige opdagelser og troens helende kraft; om en datter, der er besat af spørgsmål om den mor, hun aldrig lærte at kende. Før Henrietta Lacks’ udødelige liv blev udgivet første gang, etablerede Rebecca Skloot Henrietta Lacks Foundation. En del af overskuddet fra denne bog doneres af forfatteren til fonden. Se HenriettaLacks-Foundation.org. "Det lyder bizart. Det er bizart. Og en meget interessant og passioneret fortalt historie fra videnskabens verden. Denne bog er unputdownable." - Information
