600 People Were Injected With Live Cancer Cells — Nobody Was Told

In 1954 the chief of virology at one of America's most prestigious cancer research centers began injecting live cancer cells into patients, prisoners, and elderly hospital patients without telling them what was in the syringe. The research was funded by the United States government through the NIH. Dr. Chester Southam of Sloan-Kettering Institute used HeLa cells — taken without consent from a dying Black woman named Henrietta Lacks in 1951 — to conduct a decade of experiments on over 600 people. Patients were told he was testing their immune systems. Prison inmates at Ohio State Penitentiary were told they faced no grave danger. Elderly patients in Brooklyn were injected without any explanation at all. When three Jewish doctors refused to participate and resigned to notify the press in 1963, the resulting investigation found Southam guilty of fraud, deceit, and unprofessional conduct. His punishment was probation. One year later he was elected Vice President of the American Cancer Society. Five years later he became President of the American Association for Cancer Research. He was never criminally charged.
