520    Her name was Henrietta Lacks, but scientists know her as 
       HeLa. She was a poor Southern tobacco farmer, 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 sixty years. HeLa cells 
       were vital for developing the polio vaccine; uncovered 
       secrets of cancer and viruses; helped lead to in vitro 
       fertilization, cloning, and gene mapping; and have been 
       bought and sold by the billions. Yet Henrietta Lacks is 
       buried in an unmarked grave. Her family did not learn of 
       her "immortality" until more than twenty years after her 
       death, when scientists began using her husband and 
       children in research without informed consent. The story 
       of the Lacks family 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--From publisher
