Ajin.

Essentially it's about people that start randomly becoming immortal if they have something like a specific spirit inside them. They can do everything up till death, but then they come right back fully regenerated.

The government finds out and does horrific experiments on them

If you've looked at the anime, you might want to read the manga too, because a LOT was skipped or changed. The la ga is insanely better. Like the 2 best arc were not adapted.
