Shocking History of Medical Experiments on People

This photo shows just how little respect or compassion was shown to the test subjects while intense care and thought was given to the safety and well being of the reachers and their staff. The test subject is totally unprotected and vulnerable while the the doctors and their staff is completely covered and protected and using long instruments to apply what ever infection or illness .
I bet some of you are thinking ' Damn, not another thread about Hitler, The Holocaust ,,, etc
Well you would be right .
This is a thread about America .

Less then 100 years ago American doctors and pharmaceutical companies thought it perfectly okay to use convicted prisoners and mentally ill patients for medical research.



The lack of outrage or any response from the American public can be in part attributed to the fact that several of the studies were never covered by any media and the few that were was reported in a way that the focus was on the promise of new cures while 'glossing' over the way the test subjects were treated .
Here's an example of how the studies were reported by the media..




FYI ....
This article has some pretty awful information and descriptions .

I've often times thought of myself as a mentally ill patient in a mad science experiment.

But yeah, I read up on human experimentation awhile back and dating back to the Roman Empire period, people learned about vitalogy via holding down prisoners, while they were still awake and conscious, and tearing the little buggers wide open to inspect all of their juicy bits.

Or so it seems to be facted in our annals of history. How man really came about medical understanding might be a lot different.

I think it's general knowledge this was done. But this has changed, thankfully!

Yeh its not really hidden history or anything like that... this may sound cruel but the only way we learn is by doing...without these experiments we wouldn't be where we are today in regards to medical science

They could've experimented with making anesthetics first.

Somehow, that just conjured a morbid mental image.

**apply experimental anesthetic**
**poke subject with a needle**
"Do you feel this?"
"No"
**insert needle 1 inch **
"How about this?"
"No"
*remove needle, insert scalpel 1/2 in**
"Does this hurt?"
"No"
**slices 1/2 inch deep 1 inch long incision**
*patient screams and starts flailing about, creating multiple lacerations**
"Nurse, make a note of that...."

Yes I agree that this is well known by most everyone .
While this sort of thing has been documented though out the history of most every part of the world , It was reported to be going on as recent as 2008 in some third world counties, which makes it a present day issue
