    Immortality: Henrietta Lacks and HeLa Cells

    Immortality: Henrietta Lacks and HeLa Cells

    Do we have a soul? What rights do we have to pieces of ourselves? What happens when a piece of us becomes immortal? Join Nikki as she follows the life of Henrietta Lacks, and the immortality of her cells.

    Much of the reseach conducted for this episode comes from Rebecca Skloot's wonderfully crafted and well written book, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. I highly suggest reading the whole book for more depth and detail on Henrietta, HeLa, and the beginnings of cellular research.
