The book is about Henrietta Lacks, a Black mother of five children, who died in her early 30s of cervical cancer. The cells from her tumor were taken without her knowledge to develop the HeLa cell line that has been used in countless scientific research studies. Her story influenced the establishment of the Common Rule for federally funded human subjects research, including requirements for obtaining informed consent.
