About Finding Henrietta Lacks
Here’s the compelling story of how a young Rolling Stone writer tracked <br> down and published the identity of a then-anonymous cell donor, now <br> known to millions of readers from Rebecca Skloot’s The Immortal Life of <br> Henrietta Lacks. As Rebecca describes, back in 1976, a very young <br> science writer was the first to locate the Lacks family and explain to <br> them Henrietta’s remarkable role in biomedicine. This is the story of <br> how that happened.<br><br>She was only known as “Helen Lane” (the <br> pseudonym for Henrietta that the researchers used in public), but her <br> apparently immortal cells had already started to earn an enormous place <br> in science. Michael Rogers, then a staff writer for the rock and roll <br> magazine, wanted to bring it to life by actually finding her surviving <br> relatives and paint a portrait of “Helen” herself. <br><br>It seemed <br> like a long-shot at best, and in fact nearly proved impossible. Back in <br> the Seventies, the biomedical community controlled information far more <br> closely than today. Plus, the unspoken rules of science writing at the <br> time made printing a tissue donor’s real name ethically dubious. <br> Ultimately, through a single slip of the tongue by a researcher, Rogers <br> was able to find the family—as they were on the very first step of the <br> difficult journey that Rebecca so ably chronicles in her book. <br><br>This<br> 8,000 word ebooklet describes Rogers’ efforts to find Henrietta <br> Lacks—within the particular opportunities and challenges of journalism <br> in the Seventies—and also includes the text of the original 1976 <br> article.</br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br>
