Experiments on humans uncovered in Israel

"A major investigation has uncovered a range of medical experiments being carried out in Israel on human beings, mainly mental patients, the elderly, and children.

Israel's State Comptroller and Ombudsman has issued a damning report which has shocked the country's health minister."

What is going on in Israel? Could the "angel of death" still be alive? Again if true this is disgusting and horrific.

you know you would think that the ONE country that would never even think of doing this. it is so sad that they would do this as this is EXACTLY what was done to jews and others in natzi germany. one of the things that they like to trot out to state their ligitimacy.

the article wasn't very forthcoming in explanations of exactly WHAT was done.

i find it terribly sad this has happened. i'm anxious to read more as this story unfolds.................good grief!!!

Ugh, it doesn't sound good.
Pierced eardrums, 37 deaths?
Geez.

smh.com.au
Some children had their eardrums pierced so that a drug, not approved for medical use anywhere else in the world, could be applied. Such tests needed approval but the hospital did not apply to the ministry.

In another case, a painful procedure using a needle to draw urine from the bladder for testing was performed without the necessary ministry approval.

Unlicensed drugs and invasive procedures were also used on patients, sometimes by researchers who were not even doctors.

And even though any fatality during such clinical tests should be reported to the ministry within 48 hours, it took researchers more than a week to pass on the information in 21 out of 37 deaths. Some took more than a month.

This truly is horrid. I too would like to see more information on this, and hopefully those responsible, and not just the doctors, would be found out and punished.

Still, it makes me wonder just where else such events are happening…

Tis angering indeed.

Quite Frightening Indeed !

Will history be repeating itself in a very ironic way ?

Truthisoutthere
Doesn't history always repeat itself in just this fashion?

This is pretty disturbing, really. The worst part, IMO, was that invasive procedures were being performed without a doctor, these things were being done by researchers. Imagine being the victim..err..patient. Horrible.

I wonder if the people signed on to get some cash? Or was this paid for by state aid in any way? Are they eligible to recoup losses, or did they enter into some form of contract with the testing facility?

Very disturbing, I would hope for a full accounting of what went on, but I think this story will likely end up beneath a rug somewhere...
