A superb video on a controversial study involving gun shot victims in Philadelphia. Is too much medical intervention actually hurting victims' chances of survival and recovery? Researchers want to test this hypothesis by limiting the care given to victims by emergency responders and the issue of informed consent is front and center. As we ask ourselves "is this ethical?", it is important that we not forget the numerous abuses minority populations have suffered in the name of scientific research.

This segment originally aired Oct. 27 on VICE News Tonight on HBO. Last year, there were more than 50,000 shootings in the United States, and more than 25 percent of those shootings were fatal. In Philadelphia, two trauma surgeons are launching a citywide study to test whether more shooting victims can be saved by doing less.
