From medical outlaw to president of the American Cancer Society

Below is an excerpt relating to Cancer. It is from a list of all the incidents from 1833 up to 1974 in how the public and soldiers have been used as human guinea pigs for the military and Nazi inspired Science.



1963: Chester M. Southam, who injected Ohio State Prison inmates with live cancer cells in 1952, performs the same procedure on 22 senile, African-American female patients at the Brooklyn Jewish Chronic Disease Hospital in order to watch their immunological response. Southam tells the patients that they are receiving "some cells," but leaves out the fact that they are cancer cells. He claims he doesn't obtain informed consent from the patients because he does not want to frighten them by telling them what he is doing, but he nevertheless temporarily loses his medical license because of it. Ironically, he eventually becomes president of the American Cancer Society (Greger, Merritte, et al.). Tweet
