Togan

I read Rebecca Skloot 'The Immoral life of Henrietta Lacks'(Kodansha.) I was the Japanese version translated by Kyoko Nakazato.
Let me say in the beginning that this book is very interesting for me.
Hela is shortened from Henrietta Lack. She was an African-American woman and died of cervical cancer in 1951 when she was 31.

He cancer cells were cultured. It is called Hela cells.

I learned for the first time that we had gotten a lot of benefit from them.

It made me think about medical ethics about the utilization of human cells and racial discrimination as well.
The togan is growing steadily.
