"life unworthy of life"...

Eugenics
 
"  Eugenicists considered epilepsy an inherited disorder, and many states sterilized epileptics to prevent its spread. This was another of the eugenicists' misinformed stands — epilepsy's causes are still not fully understood..."

"Aktion T 4," the Nazi euthanasia program to eliminate "life unworthy of life"...Patients had to be reported if they suffered from schizophrenia, epilepsy..."
http://www.historyplace.com/worldwar2/holocaust/h-euthanasia.htm

"The Nazi regime in Germany from 1933 to 1945 waged a veritable war throughout Europe to eliminate neurologic disease from the gene pool. Fueled by eugenic policies on racial hygiene, the Nazis first undertook a sterilization campaign against "mental defectives," which included neurologic patients with epilepsy and other disorders, as well as psychiatric patients. From 1939-41 the Nazis instead resorted to "euthanasia" of many of the same patients. Some neuroscientists were collaborators in this program, using patients for research, or using extracted brains following their murder..."

 Eugenics / Psychosurgery 
 
"We need a program of psychosurgery for political control of our society. The purpose is physical control of the mind. Everyone who deviates from the given norm can be surgically mutilated. ...  Man does not have the right to develop his own mind. This kind of liberal orientation has great appeal. We must electronically control the brain..." - José Manuel Rodriguez Delgado, Spanish professor of physiology at Yale University

"He chose patients who were "desperately ill patients whose disorders had resisted all previous treatments" and implanted electrodes in about 25 of them. Most of these patients were either schizophrenics or epileptics."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Manuel_Rodriguez_Delgado

 
 "...Psychosurgery, also called neurosurgery for mental disorder (NMD), is the neurosurgical treatment of mental disorder. It was introduced in 1930s and has a controversial history; Portuguese neurologist Egas Moniz is usually credited with being the originator of psychosurgery...Psychosurgery is a collaboration between psychiatrists and neurosurgeons. During the operation...a small piece of brain is destroyed or removed... interest in the neurosurgical treatment of mental illness is shifting from ablative psychosurgery to deep brain stimulation (DBS) where the aim is to stimulate areas of the brain with implanted electrodes."

"Traces of Eugenic Thought in the Work of Egas Moniz... the language of eugenics was present in his work and allowed for connections between the sexual sciences, neo-Malthusianism and medical hygiene."

 "... O autor revela que o peso do apoio da delegação brasileira no 1º Congresso  Internacional de Psicocirurgia, realizado em Lisboa – que foi responsável da moção que reconhecia o merecimento do Prémio para Egas Moniz –, terá sido de grande importância na decisão final..."

"Egas Moniz e a História da Psicocirurgia, A. J. Gonçalves Ferreira...
...Nos próximos anos se verá se estes novos procedimentos Psicocirúrgicos, com a sua elevada precisão e reversibilidade de efeitos, comprovam ser tão fecundos e seguros como parecem ser nestes primeiros passos. Outros estudos, ainda experimentais, pretendem testar novos alvos e diferentes tipos de Neuromodulação para tratar outras afecções: epilepsia, depressão grave, dor crónica. Afinal a Psicocirurgia, cujos princípios mantêm a sua validade apesar do ostracismo a que foram votados durante décadas, parece hoje renascer das cinzas. O enorme progresso científico entretanto registado e as técnicas inovadoras que não cessam de surgir podem impulsionar de novo a Psicocirurgia para a vanguarda da Medicina do século XXI. E confirmar assim a genialidade do legado de Egas Moniz."
  
 
 "A História do Brasil compreende, tradicionalmente, o período desde a chegada dos portugueses até os dias atuais...O período compreendido entre o Descobrimento do Brasil em 1500, (chamado pelos portugueses de Achamento do Brasil), até a Independência do Brasil, é chamado, no Brasil, de Período Colonial...."

"Durante décadas, milhares de pacientes foram internados à força, sem diagnóstico de doença mental, num enorme hospício na cidade de Barbacena, em Minas Gerais. Ali foram torturados, violentados e mortos sem que ninguém se importasse com seu destino. Eram apenas epilépticos, alcoólatras, homossexuais, prostitutas, meninas grávidas pelos patrões, mulheres confinadas pelos maridos, moças que haviam perdido a virgindade antes do casamento. Ninguém ouvia seus gritos...Morriam também de choque. Às vezes os eletrochoques eram tantos e tão fortes, que a sobrecarga derrubava a rede do município...No início dos anos 60, depois de conhecer a Colônia, o fotógrafo Luiz Alfredo, da revista O Cruzeiro, desabafou com o chefe: “Aquilo é um assassinato em massa”. Em 1979, o psiquiatra italiano Franco Basaglia, pioneiro da luta pelo fim dos manicômios que também visitou a Colônia, declarou numa coletiva de imprensa: “Estive hoje num campo de concentração nazista. Em lugar nenhum do mundo, presenciei uma tragédia como essa”."

Dr. J. Paul Muizelaar and Dr. Rudolph Schrot...

"Two neurosurgeons from the University of California, Davis have been banned from performing medical research on humans after they allegedly experimented on three patients without university permission...documents that allegedly show the surgeons obtained consent of three terminally ill patients with malignant brain tumours to introduce bacteria into their open head wounds in hopes that it might save their lives...the university has found that two of the three patients developed sepsis and died.
...One of the doctors, J. Paul Muizelaar, 65, holds a prestigious position as chair of the Department of Neurological Surgery. Rudolph Schrot, 44, worked under Muizelaar as an assistant professor and neurosurgeon.
Muizelaar, however, doesn't believe he did anything wrong.
"Muizelaar reportedly said, "there are people who blatantly break the rules that endanger all of their research programs. We certainly didn't blatantly trample any rules."
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/23/j-paul-muizelaar-rudolph-uc-neurosurgeons_n_1695562.html

"In 2008, the doctors proposed treating a glioblastoma patient with bacteria applied to an open wound to "attack the tumor," then later withholding antibiotics and letting the bacteria do its work.
Schrot contacted the FDA but ultimately was cautioned that animal studies were needed first...
And so the doctors continued with preclinical work, arranging for a rat study..." 
http://www.sacbee.com/2012/07/22/4648415/2-uc-davis-neurosurgeons-accused.html  ...a rat study where at least that we know 2 patients human beings were killed..

 Who are the people that this 
prestigious neurosurgeon with a position as chair of the Department of Neurological Surgery talks when he says "there are people who blatantly break the rules that endanger all of their research programs..." and who are the human guinea pigs of those people...can they be epileptics/people with other type of brain tumours?????

Are the articles about medical research that they said that are made with animals made with human beings??????
Are human beings considered rats by some scientists, rats that they can play with and torture in studies similar to this :
"...Mice are exposed to an electric shock and learn to associate it with a neutral stimulus like the chamber in which they received the shock (contextual fear conditioning) or an auditory tone (cued fear conditioning).Memory is a high level brain function that allows organisms to modify their behaviour...RFID transponders (Datamars SA, Bedano, Switzerland) were injected subcutaneously in the dorso-cervical region under Isoflurane inhalation anesthesia"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3230787/

Nurse Stephan Letter...

"Stephan Letter (born 17 September 1978 in Herdecke, North Rhine-Westphalia) is a German former nurse and serial killer known to be responsible for the killings of at least 29 patients while he worked at a hospital in Sonthofen, Bavaria between January 2003 and July 2004. The acts have been described as Germany's largest number of killings since World War II...

...Stephan Letter was a nurse at a hospital that treated a large elderly population.During his employment from January 2003 to July 2004, a pattern of more than 80 deaths occurred on his shifts. Officials exhumed the bodies of more than 40 patients, but another 38 had already been cremated. Lesser became a suspect after officials learned that large quantitites of drugs, including the muscle relaxant lysthenon, had gone missing from the hospital.

...He confessed to some of the killings, but insisted that he acted out of sympathy and a desire to end the suffering of sick patients. However, the prosecution indicated that Letter was not the assigned nurse for some of the patients and that some of the patients were in stable condition and due to be released from the hospital."

Nurse Arnfinn Nesset...

"Arnfinn Nesset (born October 25, 1936) is a Norwegian former nurse, nursing home manager and convicted serial killer. His crimes include the murders of at least 22 people, as well as attempted murder, document forgery and embezzlement. He may have murdered up to 138 people. In 1983 he was convicted of poisoning 22 patients and sentenced to 21 years in prison. He served 12 years and 10 years supervision, and is thought to be living under an assumed name.
 
...Born in Trøndelag in 1936 out of wedlock, Nesset was raised by his mother and remained with her throughout his upbringing and adulthood, living at her childhood home. His father was absent from his life and he never established contact with him. He was educated as a registered nurse and by 1977 he was hired as a head nurse at a larger nursing home in Orkdal municipality.
 
...During the summer and autumn of 1981, a series of suspicious deaths was uncovered at the nursing home in Orkdal, Sør-Trøndelag where Nesset was working as manager... Arnfinn Nesset initially confessed to the murders of 27 patients who he claimed to have killed by injecting them with suxamethonium chloride, a muscle relaxing drug."

"Dr. Death"...

"Harold Fredrick Shipman (14 January 1946 – 13 January 2004) was a British doctor and one of the most prolific serial killers in recorded history by proven murders with up to 250 murders being ascribed to him.
On 31 January 2000, a jury found Shipman guilty of 15 murders. He was sentenced to life imprisonment and the judge recommended that he never be released.
 
Harold Frederick Shipman was born in Bestwood council estate in Nottingham, England...His working class parents were devout Methodists.Shipman was particularly close to his mother, who died of lung cancer when he was 17....
 
Shipman studied medicine at Leeds School of Medicine and graduated in 1970. He started work at Pontefract General Infirmary in Pontefract, West Riding of Yorkshire, and in 1974 took his first position as a general practitioner (GP) at the Abraham Ormerod Medical Centre in Todmorden, West Yorkshire. In 1975 he was caught forging prescriptions of pethidine for his own use. He was fined £600, and briefly attended a drug rehabilitation clinic in York. He became a GP at the Donneybrook Medical Centre in Hyde, Greater Manchester, in 1977.
Shipman continued working as a GP in Hyde throughout the 1980s and founded his own surgery at 21 Market Street in 1993, becoming a respected member of the community. In 1983, he was interviewed on the Granada television documentary World in Action on how the mentally ill should be treated in the community.
  
...The Shipman Inquiry into Shipman's activities submitted in July 2002 concluded that he had killed at least 215 of his patients between 1975 and 1998, during which time he practised in Todmorden, West Yorkshire (1974–1975), and Hyde, Greater Manchester (1977–1998)... Most of his victims were elderly women in good health.
 
 ...The General Medical Council charged six doctors who signed cremation forms for Shipman's victims with misconduct, claiming they should have noticed the pattern between Shipman's home visits and his patients' deaths. All these doctors were found not guilty....

...In October 2005, a similar hearing was held against two doctors who worked at Tameside General Hospital in 1994, who failed to detect that Shipman had deliberately administered a "grossly excessive" dose of morphine.
 
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Shipman

"The official report speculated that the doctor was "addicted to killing" much like he was addicted to painkillers around the time the murders started...Shipman "simply enjoyed viewing the process of dying and enjoyed feeling the control over life and death."

... Even more incredible was that his murders of so many people did not arouse suspicion for decades...

...the system failed tragically when Shipman, after being convicted of drug abuse in 1975, was allowed to obtain enormous quantities of painkilling drugs. For example, in the name of a dying patient, Dr. Shipman obtained enough of the painkiller diamorphine to kill 360 people..."
