About the book

Den fattige, fargete amerikanske kvinnen Henrietta Lacks får diagnosen livmorhalskreft i 1951. Hun dør kort tid etter, men uten hennes eller familiens samtykke har legene tatt ei vevsprøve. Disse cellene blei brukt bl.a. til å utvikle poliovaksinen og til behandling av AIDS. Boka viser hvordan Henriettas familie ikke har fått noen kompensasjon for at legemiddelindustrien har brukt disse cellene til medisinsk forskning som har ført til milliardintekter for de involverte.
