"The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" discussion with David Lacks, son of Henrietta Lacks
DATE: November 14, 2012
For many years the name Henrietta Lacks was unknown, but with Rebecca Skloot’s bestseller The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, a growing number of people from medical researchers to book group members and students are eager to learn more about the woman who was the origin of the immortal HeLa cell. Henrietta's son, David “Sonny” Lacks, speaks eloquently and poignantly about the Lacks family’s experiences and the mother he and his siblings hardly knew, but whose cancerous cell tissue has become one of the most important medical research tools ever discovered.

The book highlights good and bad behavior in many different areas ranging from scientific and medical ethics, to legal rights over ownership of bodily tissues, to race, class, and gender issues. Several Themester 2012 courses will use this event to enhance their curriculum. The course complements two science ethics classes in particular, CHEM-G 209 "Ethics in Science" and COLL-C 105 "When Good Science Goes Bad.".

Part of Themester 2012 Good Behavior, Bad Behavior: Molecules to Morality
