The author was impressive and thoughtful.Sweet Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06636443574868229467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367491918209452164.post-56737656161573503352011-03-26T06:08:51.126-07:002011-03-26T06:08:51.126-07:00I recently finished reading this book.

Nothing I have read in the past several years more deserves to be made into a film - not a made for TV documentary, but the best that Hollywood can do. However, could this possibly be done without further exploiting the Lacks family? I think, possibly, if such a film is made, a significant portion of the receipts should go to the family, as a way of repaying them for what is so long overdue. Yes, yes. I understand the medical ethics, both past and present, but they don't. Not in their spirits, and in their innate knowledge of right and wrong.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02862750285707398417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367491918209452164.post-36855599087718257562011-02-24T07:32:51.815-08:002011-02-24T07:32:51.815-08:00Deborah is someone who leaves an impression on you...Deborah is someone who leaves an impression on you. You feel so much for her suffering and that of her mother. She doesn't know who to trust or where to turn for help. It is such an outrage that the Lacks family does not even have health insurance after all Henrietta's cells did for the world of medical science.Tribute Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16959016294721462184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367491918209452164.post-81779313881186239062011-02-24T07:32:12.165-08:002011-02-24T07:32:12.165-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Tribute Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16959016294721462184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367491918209452164.post-6289289544478181182011-02-21T08:22:40.479-08:002011-02-21T08:22:40.479-08:00Another one that I'm eager to read, but can...Another one that I'm eager to read, but can't seem to wade thru all the ones I have before it.Gerbera Daisy Diarieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11605934758292568280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367491918209452164.post-66080053090341151732011-02-21T08:13:17.249-08:002011-02-21T08:13:17.249-08:00This book sounds amazing!
