Reading TILOHL

     After just reading the synopsis of TILOHL I  feel that it is important Henrietta Lack's story as well as any other story like hers is important to be told to the public for many reasons. The main reason i believe is that when there is a topic of this matter that is highly debated and controversial it is important for people to be educated on the subject and by reading the book TILOHL written by Rebecca Skloot it will help people form their own opinions. On the other hand as i had mentioned the topic of  scientific research without consent is very debated and opinionated, and i think the book is a prime example of someone who's rights were violated and treated unfairly. One other reason i think that it is important for the public to be informed or her case as well as similar cases is that topics such as this one come up in people's everyday lives whether it be in politics or in the news. I  just think that when something as this subject, whether you wish to have an opinion about it or not is something that you should at least be informed about.Which is why i feel it important that a story like Henrietta Lack's be heard.  
(here is a link talking briefly about the book and showing the author Rebecca Skloot)     Some challenges Rebecca Skloot may have encountered when writing the book TILOHL may have been finding enough credible evidence that she can use to support her book. (this is a link that is of Skloot talking to a group of students from Gallaudets University's Deaf Education Center) Yes there is obviously credible evidence after all there all of Henrietta's cells ever made weighed 50 million tons, but there is always ways to unknowingly use wrong information. Even a simple thing as finding a way to tell Henrietta's story so that it grabs the readers attention could have been an obstacle to Rebecca while writing the book. Some obstacles i may face as a reader when reading the book TILOHL could be anything from being able to follow the storyline and understand her story to simply being in the mood to sit down and read the material assigned.
