永生的海拉：划时代的癌细胞和时代洪流下的细胞主人一家（新版）
(u. S.) Rebecca Skruit
She is black and her name is Henrietta Lacks, but for decades the world only knew "HeLa" cells. When she was treating cervical cancer, she had no idea that the cancer cells had been removed and later cultivated into the first "immortal" cells outside the body, helping mankind obtain many scientific answers and new technologies. After her death, her family just continued to live in the fateful plight of black people without knowing it... The author excavated this history that spanned a century, surrounding the life of Henrietta Lacks and the scientific research events involving HeLa cells, outlining the ups and downs of this black family, illuminating many delicate stories in medical research, and also uncovering the dark past and difficult growth of scientific research ethics.
