Syphilis Testing (Sounds so familiar...)
I don't ever trust these folk to 'change their ways' and confidently am of the belief they do not have our best interests at heart. Second verse, same as the first.

How can anyone pass up a title like that?

Of course they don't have our best interest at heart. Capitalism is about making money.
And then this to top it off....

Capitalism isn't really about making your own government institutions (AMA, ACS, FDA) to make a profit.
That's called crony capitalism... or flat out corruption.
Now we COULD try a socialist approach to medicine, where the government completely controls it and then profits from it...
Oh wait.
Same thing.

Individuals with Intellectual Disability, as well as the 'criminally insane' have often been targets of testing because they are one of the largest groups of people most societies see as disposable. They also have some of the most restricted ability to advocate for themselves. Which is sad. There's been countless inhumane tests done on those who cannot advocate or speak for themselves beyond those demographics as well. Armed forces was mentioned, and that is another demographic which even has their own courts and systems of checks and balances which is oft hidden from the public eye. I have seen upticks in the same with the elderly. It comes to people in power exploiting those who do not have power. In this case, with the syphilis infections, it's absolute insanity. 600 people? I wonder sometimes if the people who run around with designer shirts protesting animal testing even know they're still HUMAN testing, we don't see similar movements to protect the lives of our fellow humans. I guess both can be bad but...
I guess, also, my concern is that this testing isn't something that 'happened in the past'. It's obviously STILL happening. It will continue to happen, and in another few years we will hear about some other company / government / agency doing something abhorrent to people and it will be swept away once more. The organizations meant to observe and police this sort of behavior are often run by the same agencies which engage in this behavior.
