HeLa细胞和Lacks家的历史令人不安,更不安的是这本书是非虚构的,而且它的出版(以及在此之前Speed、Pattillo等人为“追认Henrietta名誉”而作出的努力)似乎并没有为Lacks一家带来什么改变;看到最后两三章已经几乎对Deborah失去耐性,难为作者还能一直采访下去(……喂)
评分Baltimore story! Not an exciting read, but very informative.
评分Baltimore story! Not an exciting read, but very informative.
评分Marvelous book! Halfway of reading this book, I have a sense that the grudges of the Lacks family originate from their distrust of doctors and their destitution. As more I read, I acknowledge the pains torn inside, a disbelief that derives from discrimination, from an entrenched segregation that has defined America as a nation. wrought (AA+WASP)
评分要看伦理学讨论的话,Afterword比正文更值得读。然而读正文竟然开了可耻的脑洞(。

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. "A fascinating, harrowing, necessary book". (Hilary Mantel, "Guardian"). "A heartbreaking account of racism and injustice". ("Metro"). "A fine book...a gripping read...The book has deservedly been a huge bestseller in the US. It should be here, too". ("Sunday Times").
看真实历史故事原来是这种感觉,这是个种族歧视、性别歧视、医学伦理冲突等多种因素的多米诺骨牌,随便哪张牌出错,都将扭转历史的轨道。我经常冒出“哇我们就在这条巧合之巧合的时间线上”的念头,看到黛博拉要参加海瑞塔的纪念会,纪念会却因为911取消,我还是很震惊:海瑞塔...
评分三个月前,我曾在博文《人人是传奇》中提到一位美国传奇黑人女性,我先用itouch费劲的将电子书看完,又撺腾起小火苗,入手一本实体书。后来,我还写了一篇读后感,发给一位做书的朋友。遗憾的是,此书中文简体版权早已花落旁家。朋友很热爱这本书,尽管失之交臂,但不久的将来,...
评分这是一个好莱坞最好的编剧都无法写出的故事,但这个故事里的每一件事、每一个人都是真实存在的。海瑞塔·拉克斯,曾经只是美国一个普通的黑人妇女,因患癌症不幸离世,但她的癌细胞却有一种永生不灭超强的生存能力,成为第一个能够在体外存活培养的人体细胞 — 海拉细胞。海拉...
评分I started reading this book very late in the night and was deeply intrigued by the story of Henrietta and HeLa cell. However, the last quarter of the book is not well-written. My heart goes out to the poor injured editor.
