SYLVIA Noble (Letters, June 20) states that medical experiments on animals, were strictly forbidden in Germany during the Third Reich.
How about medical experiments on human beings? Were they also strictly forbidden in Germany during the Third Reich?
Also, the cases of tuberculosis in this country over the past months are the result of a strain of the disease which has developed a resistance to the usual antibiotics.
This is occurring with other diseases around the world and has nothing to do with the transmitting of disease from one country to another. I think Mrs Noble plays on the facts that most people do not bother to acquaint themselves with this knowledge, so she should have quite a following.
