Modern medicine has been a great success story, marked by scientific progress made possible by the medical community. And yet the path was strewn with abuses and scandals. What happened to those who paid the price for science by lending their bodies? The Doctor and His Guinea Pigs: In the Name of Science reveals the hidden side of medical progress, the long road traveled by doctors before they ended up taking on ethics and responsibility for the experiments they carried out on humans.
