Recently, a medical researcher uncovered evidence of experiments that gave many prisoners and unfortunate subjects syphillis in Guatemala during the 40's. So the US issued an apology to Guatemala, who basically said, it's cool. After all, they were a bunch of societies unwanted that were experimented on against their will and often times not offered medical care.
The 40's were a different time, and many atrocities in the name of medicine were performed by many different countries, both during war time and peace time. I suppose we should be thankful that we have the knowledge that resulted from such acts. But the whole thing reads like something out of a horror movie.
I'm not typically a conspiracy theorist. I believe we landed on the moon among other things, but one has to wonder where this is happening in the world today. Sure, there are rules about it now, but I'm sure not all of the world follows those rules. After all, its a big and scary place and plausible deniability is all the rage these days in politics.
But could you really imagine anything more terrifying than being tested on unwillfully by something even more deadly? It's truly a scary notion.
