Cynthia Dodge will lead a discussion of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, by Rebecca Skloot. Henrietta Lacks was a poor Southern tobacco farmer who worked the same land as her slave ancestors.  Her cancer cells were taken without her knowledge  and and still live decades after her death. Her cells were harvested and used to create an  immortal cell line for scientific experimentation. The dark history of experimentation on African Americans helped lead to the birth of bioethics, and legal battles over whether we control the stuff we are made of.
