I have been reading 'The immortal life of Henrietta Lacks' by Rebecca Skloot.

It's a fascinating read on how loose the ethics were when experimenting with African Americans back then.

This book also makes me wonder about the current practices, which we do "normally", that the future scientists will consider downright crazy.
