Law and Order and HeLa Cells


There's a Law and Order episode based on HeLa cells!  I've included a link to another blog that describes the episode and its connection to the HeLa story.

Quite fascinating, the way the show writers adapted the true story.  (It's Season 20, Episode 21, "Immortal," if anyone's interested in watching it.)  The connections are obvious if you've read the book.  My husband was really interested in the legal aspects of the Lacks' situation and others that Skloot describes.
