But the pertinent question here, is why they have been so willing to tell on themselves in the past few years? Because it certainly isn't that they're sorry. And it isn't like they have stopped doing this kind of thing. There's more to this. But then there always is.

Horrific US Medical Experiments Come to Light

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

Well I wouldnt call it horrific, its pretty tame and clean, but the result is no different.
But, this isnt new, nor is it really appropriate to condemn, I mean testing and scientific research is the reason we have so many remarkable anti-serums, venoms and methods of medicine available to us.
If I was in my 80's, alone in a home. But of sound judgement and mobile ability id definitely volunteer to trial something that could benefit future generations...
.... of course , if it got me as high as a kit, i wouldnt be complain'n! 44

They are injecting people with TOXINS now to find out if any toxins have any medical benefit.
UnderSecretary of Health signed the new regulations allowing Veterans to be used for medical experiments without their consent:
"""ATTENTION: The new, revised VHA Handbook 1200.05, "Requirements for the Protection of Human Subjects in Research" was signed by the Under Secretary for Health, October 15, 2010. The provisions of this handbook must be implemented by March 31, 2011."""

Aww, but wait! The U.S. would NEVER expirement on its own citizens, would it? After all, we're a 'law-abiding' nation, right? A beacon for "democracy" and human rights? LMAO
Straight out of a Stephen King Horror novel, only it's no imaginary tale. Straight out of Nazi-Germany "research" and testing upon jewish prisoners, only this was OUR gov, testing on its OWN, right here in the good old U.S. of A.

As I asked in the other thread on this:
But the pertinent question here, is why they have been so willing to tell on themselves in the past few years? Because it certainly isn't that they're sorry. And it isn't like they have stopped doing this kind of thing. There's more to this. But then there always is.
And the question still stands. Why are they releasing this info? These people never come clean on anything without a reason. If they are telling us about this. They're either hiding something else behind it. Or they are after something. Which is it? And what is it?

Shameful past of medical trials prompts new US investigations
The administration asked its bioethics panel to re-evaluate international medical studies. Barack Obama also asked the Institute of Medicine to further probe the Guatemala study, but the institute relinquished the assignment after reporting a conflict of interest: in the 1940s, five members of a sister organisation had links to the Guatemala study.
So the bioethics commission has been given both tasks. To focus on federally funded international studies, the commission has formed an international panel of about a dozen experts in ethics, science and clinical research. To probe the Guatemala study, it has hired 15 staff investigators and is working with historians and other experts. The panel is to report to the President by September.
OSU had role in old drug trials
Henry Langlois was one of 38 soldiers who were told in 1955 that they were serving their country when they volunteered to inhale a biological agent that the government was testing. A year later, inmates at the Ohio Penitentiary were told they were serving society when they volunteered to let researchers inject them with live cancer cells.
In the 1960s and 1970s, 15,000 Marines were told the same thing when Ohio State University scientists tested a pneumonia vaccine on them. These and other government-funded experiments on military personnel, prisoners and mental patients are driving an investigation into the rules that are meant to protect people who volunteer for scientific studies.
