Final answer:

Dr. Alexis Carrel in 'The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks' is least accurately described as kind, given his historical eugenicist and racially prejudiced views that align more with Nazi ideology.

Step-by-step explanation:

The character of Dr. Alexis Carrel in 'The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks' is described in a manner that suggests he held eugenicist and racially prejudiced views, reflecting the ideologies he had during his lifetime. The term nazi might seem extreme, but Carrel was known to have sympathized with Nazi ideologies.

Describing Carrel as kind would be the least accurate of the choices provided, as his eugenic and racial views, which are well-documented, contrast sharply with the connotations of kindness and benevolence.
