Her name was Henrietta Lacks, but scientists know her as HeLa. Born a poor black tobacco farmer, her cancer cells - taken without her knowledge - became a multimillion-dollar industry and one of the most important tools in medicine. Yet Henrietta's family did not learn of her 'immortality' until more than twenty years after her death, with devastating consequences ...Balancing the beauty and drama of scientific discovery with dark questions about who owns the stuff our bodies are made of, "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" is an extraordinary journey in search of the soul and story of a real woman, whose cells live on today in all four corners of the world.

她叫海瑞塔·拉克斯，科学家们都叫她”海拉”。

她是黑人，美国南方的贫穷烟农。她死于子宫癌，肿瘤细胞被医生取走，成为医学史上最早经人工培养而“永生不死”的细胞。但是她和家人却毫不知情。

海拉细胞是研发小儿麻痹疫苗的功臣，协助科学家解开癌症、病毒和原子弹效应的奥秘，促成试管婴儿、基因复制、基因图谱的重要发展，并造就了总价值超过几十亿美元的人体生物材料产业。现在，海拉细胞已经繁衍的总重量相当于100座帝国大厦，可以铺满整个地球。

然而60年来，海瑞塔·拉克斯被埋在毫不起眼的墓地里，她的家人没有享受到细胞带来的任何利益，甚至在她死后几十年后，她的女儿才得知母亲细胞的事：科学家一直在复制母亲？拿母亲的细胞做实验？既然母亲对现代医学如此重要，为什么她的孩子们连医疗保险都付不起？ Rebecca Skloot is an award-winning science writer whose articles have appeared in The New York Times Magazine; O, The Oprah Magazine; Discover; and others. She has worked as a correspondent for NPR's Radiolab and PBS's NOVA scienceNOW, and is a contributing editor at Popular Science magazine and guest editor of The Best American Science Writing 2011. She is a former Vice President of the National Book Critics Circle and has taught creative nonfiction and science journalism at the University of Memphis, the University of Pittsburgh, and New York University. Her debut book, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, took more than ten years to research and write, and became an instant New York Times bestseller. She has been featured on numerous television shows, including CBS Sunday Morning and The Colbert Report. Her book has received widespread critical acclaim, with reviews appearing in The New Yorker, Washington Post, Science, Entertainment Weekly, People, and many others. It won the Chicago Tribune Heartland Prize and the Wellcome Trust Book Prize, and was named The Best Book of 2010 by Amazon.com, and a Best Book of the Year by Entertainment Weekly; O, The Oprah Magazine; The New York Times; Washington Post; US News & World Report; and numerous others.
