Abstract
Don't miss the ethics for the ethics! The Henrietta Lacks story reveals some deeply problematic issues regarding medical ethics. But "The Immortal Life" has its own problems with regards to privacy and ethics. How does the book repeat the ethical abuses it documents? Why have we missed the privacy issues attached to race, gender, and privilege that the narrative itself engages? Is there a history here?
