Unethical experiments on Punjabi women in Coventry 1969

The UK Medical Research Council (MRC) in 1969 identified (without consent) 21 Punjabi women in Coventry via their GPs. They did not speak English.
Chapatis were delivered to them as a ‘cure’ for their symptoms. They did not know these were laced with radioactive iron, as part of a nutrition based study into ways of combating iron deficiency. They became unsuspecting human guinea pigs.
A few weeks later they were taken to a ‘hospital’ which in fact was the atomic energy research establishment at Harwell in Oxfordshire. They were placed in a special machine that measured the body’s radiation level.
The experiment according to the MRC emerged out of concern over widespread anaemia amongst Asian women.

In the 1840s James Marion Sims, a white doctor in Montgomery, Alabama, performed painful experiments without anaesthesia on enslaved Black women.
