IT WASN鈥橳 just the Nazis who experimented on humans. Witness the hepatitis studies at Willowbrook State School in the 1950s, when New York University physicians infected 鈥渕entally retarded鈥� children with virus-laden stools. In Useful Bodies, editors Jordan Goodman, Anthony McElligott and Lara Marks collate examples of medical abuse from recent history. It stands out that publication in a respected journal deterred questioning of the authors鈥� ethics.
