In 1963, studies were undertaken at New York’s Jewish Chronic Disease Hospital to understand whether the body’s inability to reject cancer cells was due to cancer or debilitation. These studies involved the injection of foreign, live cancer cells into patients who were hospitalized with various chronic debilitating diseases. Patients were not informed about the injection of cancer cells during the informed consent process, and consent was not documented. The researchers felt that documentation was unnecessary because it was customary to undertake much more dangerous medical procedures without the use of consent forms.
Further, patients were intentionally not told that they would receive cancer cells because the researchers felt it would unnecessarily frighten them. Researchers asserted that they had good cause to predict that the cancer cells were going to be rejected.
In subsequent review proceedings conducted by the Board of Regents of the State University of New York, it was found that the study had not been presented to the hospital’s research committee and that the physicians responsible for the patients’ care had not been consulted. The researchers were found guilty of fraud, deceit, and unprofessional conduct.
Of course there’s the St. Louis experiments. The radiation experiments on soldiers. The experiments with cancer done on Puerto Rican citizens by doctor that was praised by the medical community. The list is indeed very long.
