Experimenting on humans

Sometimes, it seems to me that the Israelis (or at least some of them) are becoming more and more like the people who persecuted the Jews in Germany. Remember the horrible medical "experiments" on people practiced by the Nazis? Then, consider this news from Israel's Ha'aretz:

Four senior doctors at Kaplan Hospital in Rehovot and Hartzfeld Geriatric Hospital in Gedera suspected of illegally experimenting on humans were arrested Monday.

The national fraud squad has opened an investigation into the affair. The four are suspected of abuse, aggravated assault, causing death through negligence, fraud, forgery, breach of statutory duty, and disruption of legal proceedings.

… According to a report issued by the investigations department of the Health Ministry and exposed by Haaretz, the hospitals in Gedera and Rehovot conducted illegal and unethical testing on thousands of elderly patients for years.

During one of the incidents described, twelve patients died either during the experiments or shortly after they took place, but these incidents were not reported to the Health Ministry or investigated, as is required by law.

Granted there is one big difference. These creeps are being prosecuted.
