I read The Hot Zone when it was new. Totally blew my mind. If you haven't seen And the Band Played On you should. they're spiritual brothers.

Interestingly enough I just read about Henrietta Lacks this morning, and how her kids are now on the ethics board that determines who gets to use the cell line. Added.

EDIT: you know I kinda wish I hadn't read The Hot Zone.
