This was such an upsetting but also eye-opening book with huge ethical dilemmas. It really puts you in the uncomfortable position where you don’t want to believe that something so wrong could lead to so much good. I appreciated learning about Henrietta’s life and how her cells helped lead to life-saving medical breakthroughs and invaluable scientific advancements, but it’s impossible to justify how they were taken without her consent, exploited for profit, and used unethically while her family suffered. The book forces you to sit with that tension, being grateful for the breakthroughs while rejecting the injustice that made them possible. It’s a necessary, painful reminder of how the medical system has failed the Black community since it’s establishment, and my heart truly goes out to Henrietta Lacks and her family.
