Discussion was great, as usual. Many found the science writing okay, however, there was more interest in the family story. We touched on the unfairness in non-compensation for the family from both medical companies and author, consequences of the times, lifestyes, and education or lack of it. Admiration for the author expressed for her courage to collect information the past 10 years.
