When Dr Ron Jones joined the staff of National Women’s Hospital in Auckland in 1973 as a junior obstetrician and gynaecologist, Professor Herbert Green’s study into the natural history of carcinoma in-situ of the cervix (CIS) – later called ‘the unfortunate experiment’ – had been in progress for seven years. 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 Sylvia Cartwright observed that an unethical experiment had been carried out in 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.

Mattress Topper
Color: Green Bamboo(2300gsm), Size: Queen
So far I haven’t really got to get a feel of it. I will say it came smelling very strongly. I’ve had it now for 3 days & it still has a smell. I let it sit out for 24 hours, with the window opened but it still has an odd scent & once I put it on my bed it’s still smelling strong. It’s kind of hard to focus on my comfort when the smell is very odd & foul but aside from that. The reviews are on point in regards to its softness.

This is beyond awesome!
Color: Green Bamboo(2300gsm), Size: Queen
I have Airbnb properties and I have bought all sorts of bed toppers. Nothing that I have ever bought has been THIS perfect! Anything with polyester is going to fail you. This one is exactly what I was hoping for which is ONLY shredded memory foam that will last and give you what you want for a cloud like experience!! I just got delivery of this one and unpacked it! It is above and beyond anything I could hope for! It is 100% shredded memory foam through and through, very nice and thick!! It's extremely well made and well packaged. I am totally thrilled with this bed topper! No more experimenting with my purchases anymore.. and sending them back when it's nothing like. I hope. This one is EVERYTHING! YOU HAVE GOT TO GET THIS AND YOU WON'T BE SORRY!
