A contentious debate has erupted in Parliament following leaked reports that suggest certain medical institutions may be conducting unauthorized experiments on patients. Though no official confirmations have been made, the allegations have sparked a firestorm of controversy.

Lord Edward Blackwood, a prominent benefactor of medical research, has called for transparency but insists that his funding has only gone toward ethical advancements. ‘Science progresses through discovery,’ he stated. ‘But if these claims are true, we must draw a line between progress and recklessness.’

Meanwhile, opposition MPs are demanding a full inquiry, arguing that such research—if left unchecked—could have dangerous consequences for public health. The *Daily Chronicle* will continue to follow developments as Parliament prepares for what promises to be a fierce round of questioning.
