The immortal life of Henrietta lacks.
What is the ultimate effect of both the
rhetorical methods Skloot uses and
the outside knowledge she presents?
How does it affect the ways in which
we view the Lacks family? The
medical community? Skloot herself as
a researcher and writer? Finally, if our
research, like Skloot's, touches on
topics that are likely to be poorly
understood or received, what is our
responsibility to our audience(s) in
terms of making sure our arguments
are well-supported and clearly
explained?
