ATLANTA -- Shocking as it may seem, U.S. government doctors once thought it was fine to experiment on disabled people and prison inmates. Such experiments included giving hepatitis to mental patients in Connecticut, squirting a pandemic flu virus up the noses of prisoners in Maryland, and injecting cancer cells into chronically ill people at a New York hospital.
Much of this horrific history is 40 to 80 years old, but it is the backdrop for a meeting in Washington this week by a presidential bioethics commission. The meeting was triggered by the government's apology last fall for federal d

How horrific. Is it me, or does the american government always take years to fully apologize for wrongdoing?
Good finding!
BTW, Im starting to be a big fan of your posts!
The time they take to apologise is intentional. After 40-80 years the people who were originally affected and those close to them are probably not even going to be around or at least very elderly and therefore not in the position to comment. The public that would have been outraged at the time will also have forgotten much since then or not be around. The current public (ie us) are going to be less emotionally linked to the event in question.
The perpetrators themselves will also be dead or very old and the current government that is apologising can say it was a different administration - nothing to do with them. Governments do this all the time.

Hanford officials asked Paulsen, then an assistant professor and male fertility expert at the University of Washington Medical School, to examine the men and answer their most urgent questions: Would the accident make them sterile or give them cancer?
"I couldn't really answer them. There was very little in the scientific literature," Paulsen recalled. General Electric Co. officials who ran Hanford for the government asked him to look for an answer.
