…And the Unlovely Poor

Today I was looking for reviews of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks and found this blog post that focuses more on the poverty of the Lacks family, then and now, than on the bio-ethical issues attendant upon the HeLa cell line. It quotes at full length a comment from a school teacher that originally ran in the New York Times, I believe. I refer you to it. I couldn’t have said it better myself. http://scienceblogs.com/mikethemadbiologist/2011/01/poverty_education_the_immortal.php
