Deadly experiments.

Between the 1940s and the late 1980s more than 70 radiation experiments were carried out in the U.S. and Britain on cancer patients and other patients, without their informed consent. These experiments began in the U.S. during the development of plutonium-based weapons, using cancer patients to test the effects of fall-out. It is alleged that doctors at the Churchill Hospital in Oxford carried out experiments for the British government, submitting patients to whole-body radiation, a procedure which Dr. Alice Stewart (Birmingham University) believes had no purpose except to test the power of the dose. Radiation experiments on patients also took place at Charing Cross and University College Hospitals, and at Hammersmith Hospital and Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. The programme is extensively illustrated with archive film clips of hospital and laboratory scenes.
