By the mid-1960s there was almost universal agreement among gynaecologists and pathologists worldwide that CIS was a precursor of cancer, requiring complete removal. Green, however, believed otherwise, and embarked on a study of women with CIS, without their consent, that involved merely observing, rather than definitively treating them. Many women subsequently developed cancer and some died. In 1984 Jones and senior colleagues Dr Bill McIndoe and Dr Jock McLean published a scientific paper that exposed the truth, and the disastrous outcome of Green's experiment. In a public inquiry in 1987 Judge Silvia Cartwright observed that an unethical experiment had been carried out on large numbers of women for over 20 years. Since that time there have been attempts to cast Green's work in a more generous light. This rewriting of history has spurred Ron Jones to set the record straight by telling his personal story: a story of the unnecessary suffering of countless women, a story of professional arrogance and misplaced loyalties, and a story of doctors in denial of the truth."--Back cover. 606 $aMedical ethics$zNew Zealand 606 $aHuman experimentation in medicine$zNew Zealand 606 $aGynecologists$xProfessional ethics$zNew Zealand 606 $aCervix uteri$xResearch$zNew Zealand 615 0$aMedical ethics 615 0$aHuman experimentation in medicine 615 0$aGynecologists$xProfessional ethics 615 0$aCervix uteri$xResearch 676 $a174.2 700 $aJones$b Ronald, W$g(Obstetrician and gynaecologist),$01583394 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792999003321 996 $aDoctors in denial$93866450 997 $aUNINA
