The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks is both a story of scientific progress and a biography of the poor Southern family whose matriarch, Henrietta Lacks, made that progress possible. It is also a critical exploration of the interplay between science, race, class, and ethics in the United States. Finally, it is, at times, the personal narrative of Rebecca Skloot, a reporter who worked for 10 years to learn these stories and to tell them. Cassandra Campbell's performance captures the full range of tone in these elegantly woven narratives. She delivers what the story demands of her, uniting several storytelling styles into one single, dynamic voice.
In her narration, Campbell makes particularly masterful use of distance and proximity. At some points in the story, she has the cool tone of an investigative reporter, duly noting the gruesome evidence of patient mistreatment at the Hospital for the Negro Insane in the 1950s or the horrors of medical malpractice in the Tuskegee Syphilis Study. When she tells the stories of the members of the Lacks family, her voice is warm and compassionate, but still carries the distinct distance of a biographer/observer. And, at a few rare but poignant moments in the story, Campbell's voice sounds exposed and intimately close to the listener's ear, as the narrative brings us inside Skloot's own struggle to understand and cope with the uncomfortable truths and thorny issues Henrietta's story raises.
Bahni Turpin, who performs the dialogue for all the members of the Lacks family, supplies those voices with more than the appropriate dialect. Though she speaks for several different characters some of them appear only briefly or infrequently in the story Turpin manages to give unique weight and depth to each. Her portrayal of Zacharia Lacks, Henrietta's youngest son, is perhaps most exceptional in its taciturn conveyance of anger, love, and pain. Emily Elert
Her name was Henrietta Lacks, but scientists know her as HeLa. She was a poor Southern tobacco farmer who worked the same land as her slave ancestors, yet her cells, taken without her knowledge, became one of the most important tools in medicine. The first immortal human cells grown in culture, they are still alive today, though she has been dead for more than 60 years.
If you could pile all HeLa cells ever grown onto a scale, they'd weigh more than 50 million metric tons - as much as a hundred Empire State Buildings.
HeLa cells were vital for developing the polio vaccine; uncovered secrets of cancer, viruses, and the atom bombs effects; helped lead to important advances like in vitro fertilization, cloning, and gene mapping; and have been bought and sold by the billions. Yet Henrietta Lacks remains virtually unknown, buried in an unmarked grave.
Now, Rebecca Skloot takes us on an extraordinary journey, from the colored ward of Johns Hopkins Hospital in the 1950s to stark white laboratories with freezers full of HeLa cells; from Henriettas small, dying hometown of Clover, Virginia, a land of wooden slave quarters, faith healings, and voodoo, to East Baltimore today, where her children and grandchildren live and struggle with the legacy of her cells.
Henrietta's family did not learn of her immortality until more than 20 years after her death, when scientists investigating HeLa began using her husband and children in research without informed consent. And though the cells had launched a multimillion-dollar industry that sells human biological materials, her family never saw any of the profits. As Rebecca Skloot so brilliantly shows, the story of the Lacks family, past and present, is inextricably connected to the dark history of experimentation on African Americans, the birth of bioethics, and the legal battles over whether we control the stuff we are made of.

"One of the most graceful and moving nonfiction books I've read in a very long time…The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks…floods over you like a narrative dam break, as if someone had managed to distill and purify the more addictive qualities of Erin Brockovich, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil and The Andromeda Strain.…it feels like the book Ms. Skloot was born to write. It signals the arrival of a raw but quite real talent." (Dwight Garner, The New York Times)
"Writing with a novelist's artistry, a biologist's expertise, and the zeal of an investigative reporter, Skloot tells a truly astonishing story of racism and poverty, science and conscience, spirituality and family driven by a galvanizing inquiry into the sanctity of the body and the very nature of the life force." (Booklist)
"Science journalist Skloot makes a remarkable debut with this multilayered story about 'faith, science, journalism, and grace.'...A rich, resonant tale of modern science, the wonders it can perform and how easily it can exploit society's most vulnerable people." (Publishers Weekly)
"Amazing Story"
It's hard to imagine that so much scientific research and advancement in medicine could come from the cells of one person. Skoolt exposes this story with loving detail, and helps us understand where the personal history of one family and science meet. All I can say is thank you, and bravo for a book so well written. And thank you to Lacks family for having the courage to trust and share their story after being taken advantage of by so many others.
"Thank HeLa!"
The audio book was narrated by Cassandra Campbell and Bahni Turpin, both of which I first experienced in the phenomenal book, The Help by Kathryn Stockett. I remain impressed with their skills of narration, and will start perusing their lists of audio books more frequently.
This book was absolutely fascinating. Miss Skloot was able to re-humanize an important aspect of science who had been objectified and exploited from the start, but to the overall benefit and evolution of medical science, its ethics and practice. The Immortal cells of Henrietta Lacks (HeLa) as the medium, has had a profound impact on biological studies, the likes for which the entire world could and should be grateful.
This is not just a recollection of scientific and biological history, but a biography of Henrietta's legacy. The book also offers a valuable snapshot of the dismissive and often cruel nature of race relations and segregation that took place as little as 60 years ago. Though she and her family suffered greatly, I am glad to know of Mrs. Lacks. I'm also thankful for what she and the scientific community has done for me, my friends, family, and the world.
This book was easy to listen to, understand, and follow. I highly recommend this audio book!
Short, Simple, No Spoilers
"All Roads Lead to Hela"
Never heard of Henrietta Lacks and her eternal (hela) cells? Me either, and the story is fascinating. The book has several story lines: Henrietta's life; her cells and medical advances; Henrietta's family present day; Daughter, Deborah's struggle to find the truth; and the author, Rebecca Skloot's precarious journey to write the book. All roads run simultaneously and fluidly exploring each facet and staying the course to tell this amazing story.
Cells taken without Henrietta's knowledge, have been used for over 50 years to find cures for cancer, create drugs to combat AIDS, grow corneas, and too many positives to list. She was misdiagnosed on numerous occasions as a cancer patient; never gave consent for experimentation; and her family never received any royalties from the millions of dollars made from the creation, sale, and advancement achieved by testing her cells. The scientific explanation is interesting and easy to understand. The author does a good job of stating the facts mixed with the appropriate amount of emotion, but does not swing too far one way and isn't preachy or judgmental. The education in this book reaches beyond science and sheds light on how African Americans around Johns Hopkins may have been mistreated and/or used for experimental procedures and the evolving friendship between daughter, Deborah and Rebecca was tender, a little nutty, funny, and life-changing for the both of them. Narrator does a fantastic job.
"Get This Book!!!"
I cannot say enough good things about this book. Yes, it is a book about science; and you will understand it. It is a book about a family; and you will love them. It is a book that honestly explores racism;and you will cringe. It is a book about a tenacious reporter; and you will know this was her book to write....The narration is exceptional. This book will inspire you, break your heart, and teach you. Buy the book , use your credit, you will not regret getting this great read.
"Rebecca Skloots dedication prevails"
Incredibly engaging and given that this history has so much to do with all humans alive today; also for anyone we know who has not died from a curable infection or certain cancers and that fewer and fewer people die from diseases that are now almost eradicated in many parts of the world, suffering and death are at an all time low due to this amazing woman's cells.
I want to thank Rebecca Skloot for her tenacity and without her willingness to give so much of HER life to telling the truth on this story; we would be forever ignorant to such an important and integral part of all our lives.
The story is one of innocence, intrigue and all out war; a fight that the Lacks family may never win, but with public outcry, and this book; I believe that this part of her story may very well change.
I think that there will always be pushback from the medical and scientific community, when it comes to our rights about our bodies and as human beings. Also, some of the issues raised in this book will be ones we will be addressing for the next few hundred years! I believe that these and others we can not even comprehend; will be issues that societies as a whole will hotly debate and those societies woes in this area will carry on debates of one kind or other for all time.
I highly recommend this book it is truly one that will be cited in history books and should be used (and most likely will be) in all medical and school curriculums.
"Non-fiction at its best"
This was an outstanding listen, with superb narration. I was impressed with Rebecca Skloot's remarkable powers of observation and objectivity, and found it refreshing not to be walloped by a writer's agenda.
I was expecting the science story to be intriguing, and it is, but the interweaving of the Lacks family members into the fabric of the narrative is masterful. The real-life events of Henrietta's children held me in a grip, and often kept me listening long past the points I planned to pause.
"Powerful, beautiful, fascinating, important book"
I have spent the last few days glued to my iPod until its battery ran down (twice), with this book.
This is one of the most compelling books I have ever read -well-written, with subject matter unbelievable and staggering in its implications for medicine.
Henrietta Lacks died at the age of 31 at Johns Hopkins in 1951, in the black ward, of cervical cancer. Her doctor retrieved a tissue sample from her cervix --something researchers do routinely -- to place the cells into a culture. Such cells were increasingly useful in the new field of virology.
Henrietta's cells lived, and they named this new cell line HeLa, using first letters from both of her names. HeLa cells were so robust, and replicated so fast, that their use has revolutionized medicine and lab research. They are the most commonly used research cells in the world. And for over 30 years, her family never knew or understood their importance.
Science writer Rebecca Skloot is wonderful with the clarity of her scientific explanations for the layman, and the timeline of important scientific events and discoveries made by the use of HeLa cells. The family's story is very moving. And her examination of the legal and moral ramifications of human tissue handling is even-handed and thought-provoking. Highly recommended.
"Great Listen"
I thought the weaving of the different characters was expertly done, loved the audible interview with the author at the end. great read - couldn't stop listening!
Gen-Xer, software engineer, and lifelong avid reader. Soft spots for sci-fi, fantasy, and history, but I'll read anything good.
"Many stories in one"
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, like many compelling works of nonfiction, was written to tell one story, but, in its creation, uncovered several others. On the surface, Rebecca Skloot's book is about a line of cells, extracted from a single cancer patient in the 1950s, that went on to be the most widely studied human cell line in the world. On another level, it's about an evolving debate over the medical ethics of cell and DNA ownership. How much say should patients have in the use of their own genetic material? How does society balance the needs of medical research against concerns for privacy and individual autonomy?
On still another level, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks is about race relations in America, about uneven levels of white privilege and black privilege when it comes to access to information and advocacy. It's a story about casual exploitation by a scientific establishment that was trained to compartmentalize and not think of its work in personal terms. Finally, it's a story of a family struggling to find emotional and spiritual closure after the years following the death of their mother, who continues in a strange and somewhat mystifying afterlife.
If the book had simply been about science and ethical questions pertaining to the cells of Henrietta Lacks, I might not have found it more than mildly interesting, but the human element gives the story many more dimensions. I think Skloot did an excellent and honest job of conveying how one poor, black family from the rural South perceives science and medicine. Of course, they understand and care about the basic things that most Americans do, but their views are colored by a history and identity that, I, a well-educated, middle-class white northerner, simply haven't lived in. It was a fascinating and ultimately hopeful exploration beyond stereotypes and into how human beings really relate to questions that can never be entirely viewed in clinical, medical terms. You get to know Henrietta's extended family, and to view her life and unintended contribution to science as they do.
Overall, the book felt like an extended episode of This American Life, in that it didn't explore (or resolve) any issue in great depth, but was engagingly put together and taught me a little about a lot of different subjects. Since it's not a long read, I'd say it's well-deserving of its awards and your time.
"Author became too involved"
The beginning of this book was interesting and kept me listening. I learned some interesting information about cell research. But sadly by the time I began listening to Part 2, my interest was waning. The trials and tribulations of the Lacks children (mainly as adults) took over the story and became tedious. I think Skloot became too involved with the family, thus losing her objectivity and was unable to write an unbiased story. I finished the book but was disappointed with the final 1/4 of the book.
The narrators did a fine job and their delivery helped me make it to the end of the book.

Grant: Here's the only way I see Julio Borbon making the Texas Rangers' opening day roster
Texas Rangers beat writer Evan Grant answered reader questions during a live chat Tuesday. Here are some highlights:
Does Borbon have a legit chance of making the 25-man, if for nothing but maybe trade bait?
Evan Grant: Barring injury or a Nelson Cruz suspension, I think the only way Borbon makes the roster is as a 5th outfielder. That said, I think there is a legitimate chance there, especially since the club could send its fifth starter to the minors to begin the year and carry an extra position player for 10 days. That might allow the Rangers more chance to then sneak Borbon through waivers, 10 days into the year, after rosters have initially been set.
Since he's ahead of his starting companions, what's the chance that Wash will tap the brakes on Holland during the later stages of the pre-season, just to save his arm?
Evan Grant: Depends on how long he is with Team USA and how often he pitches while there. If it was just a long spring training, sure, you'd consider backing him down. But he will also be one of those guys pitching for the USA and it's unclear how much or often he will pitch.
Matt West - highly touted last spring? The spring before? Any update on his health/ regard in the system?
Evan Grant: He is playing catch from a distance of 60 feet, hopes to be throwing off a mound by mid-summer and potentially will pitch in the Fall Instructional League.

The lady Pirates hosted the lady Raiders of Whitehorse on Friday night in a region 19 battle on the hardwood. The lady Pirates prevailed in a game that saw a twenty point 3rd quarter lead steadily evaporate into a 11 point win. The lady Pirates shot well from the floor and went 11 for 14 at the line (78 percent).
Megan Hatt continued her offensive production with a game high 23 points while Michaela Hughes worked the middle with 14 points and Cady Mecham added 8.
The remainder of the lady Pirates worked well in their respective positions with Cassi Mecham and Jamie Johnson adding two each while Melissa Antillon added 6 and Sarah Swalberg 4.
Green River's 21 point 2nd quarter output matched the lady Raiders total points at half time but their 4th quarter production slipped as the Raiders bettered them by 4. Though the game wasn't that close on the score board, the feel in the stands was different. The Homecoming crowd was loud and there was a feeling of urgency as the season begins to wind down. The Whitehorse lady Raiders play well and it took a team effort by the lady Pirates to hold them at bay.
This was a good win for the lady Pirates who now have to battle the lady Raiders on their home court and host the Navajo Mountain lady Jaguars at home to see how things shake out in the region standings.

MotoGeo meets up with a couple of riders from Europe and then rides across Northern Spain and into the South of France for the Wheels and Waves event
...But the move by Hayden, Bradl, E. Laverty and Melandri to the production-derived series is not enough without better organisation
When the Italians decide to invent a cruiser to fight for a wedge of Harley pie you know it's going to be at the very least worthy of your attention and at most an exercise in soul-pleasing psychotic overkill. In the case of the 2016 Ducati XDiavel, it is both. And much more. But in two words, this machine is, as its name unsubtly implies, evil perfected.
WorldSBK.com speaks with Ducati's Superbike Project Director
Marco Melandri has made his debut aboard the Ducati 1199 Panigale R this week, testing for three days at Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli in Italy.
As proceedings continued on-track, WorldSBK.com sat down with Ernesto Marinelli, the Superbike Project Director of Ducati, to hear his feelings on recent events.
Casey Stoner's former right-hand-man will return to Ducati next year to work as Jorge Lorenzo's MotoGP crew chief
SBK, Three days of testing for the Italian, on track until Wednesday
Ducati have never been so suited to off-road . Acceptable choice, because now the bikes looking (and the skills) off road are all the rage. The Multistrada 1200 Enduro will not stay long one, because in Borgo Panigale, the process of "endurizzazione" of the range is not yet finished and the Saloni 2016 will see yet another creature created to satisfy the desire for versatility and to amplify the concept of " motorcycle without borders ". The transformation of the object will be the Scrambler 800, used as a base to build a Enduro version , characterized by all the changes necessary to drive smoothly on the roads that have never known the asphalt.

This immaculate 1982 Ducati TT2 is available for purchase from its owner and former Ducati champion Jeff Nash. It is an opportunity to purchase a freshly un-crated, never been ridden race bike.
This is the first glimpse of the new Ducati SuperSport 939 in action. It's also the first time it's been seen since the leaked images from last month's World Ducati Week, where the bike was previewed in a secure area.
At WDW Ducati attempted to only show the bike to Ducati fans inside a secure area, but someone sneaked a camera into the event and leaked low-quality pictures online.Since then, the bike hasn't been seen again, but now we have spotted two different test bikes undergoing development at a private test track in Italy, months ahead of the bike's official launch, which is expected to take place at the Milan show in November.

The Aruba.it Racing - Ducati team finalized its line-up for the 2017 WorldSBK Championship, confirming Chaz Davies and signing an agreement with Marco Melandri. Chaz and Marco have already been teammates in the past with great results, their common goal is to fight for the victory at each round and aim at the Riders' and Manufacturers' world titles.
Chaz Davies, 29, is currently in the middle of his third season with Ducati and, thus far, has secured 9 wins and 32 podiums overall on the Panigale R, showing constant progress and winning the hearts of many Ducati fans. "I'm extremely happy to renew my professional relationship with Ducati for two more seasons," Davies said. "The continuity element is really important in our job, and so far we've made great strides and got progressively closer to our goal. Now we can fight for the win practically on every track, and I'm confident we can make further improvements. Moreover, to race for Ducati is something special: everything is done with heart and passion, you really feel part of a family and have a direct connection between the production and racing. It's going to be exciting."
Thirty-four-year-old Melandri, on the other hand, will return to the production-based series, where he has claimed 19 wins and 49 overall podiums in 100 races. "I'm really excited to come back to racing, it's a dream come true," Melandri stated. "I always said I was only interested in a top bike and top team, and I could not have asked for more. I kept following WorldSBK closely, and I'm confident the Panigale R can perfectly suit my riding style. We'll just have to take one step at a time, but the potential is surely high. I know it won't be easy to get back up to speed, but I have all the time to step on the bike, do laps and make sure I'm ready for the first test: to this end, I will skip the holidays to train on a street version of the Panigale R."
The 2016 championship will mark Davide Giugliano's last season within the Aruba.it Racing - Ducati team. In three years with the squad, the Italian rider has shown great speed and resilience, taking 10 podiums so far despite being sidelined for most of 2015 with two serious injuries. Ducati and Aruba.it would like to thank Davide for his efforts, wishing him all the best for his future career and reiterating their commitment to give him the best possible tools to achieve his first WorldSBK win. "I had a great time with Ducati," said Giugliano. "I learned a lot and was given a wealth of experience to draw upon, which is really important for a young rider. We also faced some difficult times, especially last year when I was badly injured, but we've always stayed close. We decided to take different paths, but our relationship remains strong: I'm still young, so we may rejoin forces in the future. I sincerely wish Melandri the best and would like to thank everyone in Ducati, especially Paolo Ciabatti, and Aruba.it for all their support. It's been a great journey, which has yielded great results despite the fact that we would have liked to do more, but I'll give my best until the end of the season to achieve bigger goals."
Luigi Dall'Igna, Ducati Corse General Manager: "Chaz Davies has become a key member of the Ducati family, so we're happy to announce that he will ride with us for two more years. Chaz has shown great progress and we're confident he can take our bike to even higher grounds. In 2017, he will ride alongside Marco Melandri, who took upon the challenge with great enthusiasm. Marco is a talented rider, he has already achieved prestigious results in WorldSBK and we're confident that the year spent without racing has not undermined his qualities. We're obviously sad for Davide Giugliano, who will part ways with us at the end of the year, and we wish him nothing but the best. Davide proved to have great competitiveness, taking many podiums and fastest laps, and has given a crucial input towards the development of the WorldSBK-spec Panigale R. We would like to thank him and guarantee we will give him all our support until the last race to help him achieve the results he deserves."
Stefano Cecconi, Aruba S.p.A. CEO and Team Principal: "Given that the riders' choice is among the most important and difficult to make, as the available seats are always less than what we would ideally offer, we had to resort to our ambition and courage while taking all the necessary time to finalize the 2017 line-up. Chaz has shown he can fight for the victory each round. Davide is a young and fast rider, who can become even more competitive, so I hope it's a 'see you again' and not a 'farewell' between us. Marco's resume speaks for itself and puts more pressure, at any rate positive, on us: we want to help him achieve the result that, surely not due to a lack in talent, has eluded him in WorldSBK so far."
Chaz Davies, who awarded Ducati with it's first-ever 1199 Panigale WSBK win, talks with Ultimate MotorCycling about the season so far, and grass roots racing.

Very good tires for off-road and daily use. Good and quite on motorways. Even grip on snow is mediocre, though these are not winter tires. Would definitely recommend them!

Aggressive Driver (Hard Cornering)
These tires are the worst! The tread wears EXTREMELY fast; I would estimate tread life is gone at 15,000 miles. My Highlander is not even 2 years old and the tread is worn off. I didn't realize how gone the tread was until a couple of days ago. We had around 1 inch of snow and I had the car in 4 wheel drive and was going around 20 mph. I ran off the road, spinning out of control. We took a look at the tread--pathetic! They look like banana peels. Now we have to replace them. BUYER BEWARE
