Andrea Robinson took inspiration for her 30/30 prompt this week from a review of Rebecca Skloot’s ‘The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks.’ Lacks gave us the Hela cells used in much successful medical research, including the development of the polio vaccine, but the cells were taken from her without her knowledge or consent.
Andrea’s prompt is to “write a poem about (im)mortality, medical ethics, consent - or just to respond to the image.” You can read the full prompt on her excellent tumblog, Prints and Jam.
