taken without permission by Johns Hopkins Hospital, in 1951, and subsequently cultured as the first “immortal” human cell line. Henrietta Lacks’ husband later described the non-consensual harvesting of his wife’s cells as “rape.”</span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">In an analysis of the biopolitics of immortality (as well as the biopolitics of race, gender, and sexuality that the case raises) Tim Dean shows
how immortalization in the symbolic realm of culture both resembles and differs from immortalization in tissue culture. Further, he looks at where the Henrietta Lacks story has been told and retold, and disentangles the different forms of immortality—biological,
religious, and literary—at work in it. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Dean asks: ‘What are we to make of this non-consensual bodily act that founds the most important human cell line in modern scientific history?’ and
