Israel experiments on humans

Well I say humans. Israel might not see them that way as most of them were Arabs. I've received a few emails about this Ha'aretz article:

Professor Mordechai Ravid and five other doctors and interns at Meir Hospital in Kfar Sava conducted an illegal medical experiment on some 60 women - most of whom were Arab - with diabetes, aged 45 to 70, between 2001 and 2003. The experiment was conducted without obtaining the requisite approval of the hospital's Helsinki Committee for human experiments, and without the patients' signed consent.

The hospital appointed an internal review board in 2005, which found that some of the doctors involved had provided partly false or misleading information to senior officials in the medical establishment, including to the Helsinki Committee at Meir, Tel Aviv University's medical school (with which the hospital is affiliated), and a British journal, Diabetic Medicine, which published an article on the experiment unaware it had been illegal.

The article by Ravid and his colleagues said the experiment had been approved by the Helsinki Committee, but the article was approved for publication in 2003, whereas the Helsinki permit was granted only three months later and after the research had been conducted on the patients.

These cases recall the Ringworm children.
