Crossing the line between doctor and criminal

Denis grew up in a lower class than most doctors and somehow found his way into this life. He now is preforming and experiment with the wealthy with blood transfusions. The two doctors, Denis and Emmerez, are experimenting on an unwilling, low class, supposedly "madman". I feel like they choose him because they could. They used their power of class and money to do their experiment for the wrong reasons. They wanted the fame, to be the first to preform this experiment. They did not care about the patient who was unwilling in the first place and soon died after the experiment was over.

This story shows how there is a fine line that doctors may be willing to cross in order to further their knowledge or become published. I feel like this line is considered even today. Doctors have to be careful with how far they are willing to go. There may be times where the science itself is favored over the patient when it should never be.
