Sins of omission - cancer research without informed consent

Article Abstract:

At Brooklyn's Jewish Chronic Disease Hospital (JCDH) in 1963, 22 patients received injections of cancer cells without their knowledge. What is so striking about this story is not primarily that enthusiastic researchers convinced themselves that is was acceptable to inject cancer cells into unknowing patients but, rather, that a few young physicians refused to participate and even resigned in order to protest the ethical impropriety of using people as a means to an end.
