    those kind of things are typically done by the USA government exactly in pro of having enough subjects before trying in citizens of the USA which would later sue them for allowing such practices . when the USA declared Puerto Rico a common wealth state the same was done to them , they were used as guinea pigs and as everyone knows they weren't even given the right to participate in the election of the USA president , the money which was invested in them came with that cost ... was it ethical !? if was not at all , but it certainly was a pretty abusive attitude . the sad thing about this is than such attitudes will not be paid by those abusive indibiduals which put them in practice but by the future citizens of the USA which will have to deal with the booming economies of Latin America and did not care enough to stop their own goverment from abusing people from other nations even in their own countries .

In July, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services quietly amended its list of required vaccinations for immigrants applying to become citizens. One of the newest requirements? Gardasil, which vaccinates against the human papillomavirus (HPV)

    Do you have a link? I find this hard to believe.

    ETA: I just looked it up. They're only considering it at this point. I don't think it'll ever become a reality.

    No it is not ethical. This is an illness that is not transmitted from one person to another.

    Yes, it's ethical. If they don't like it they're free not to come here or pick a place where it's not required.
