What are your thoughts on illegal experiments without informed consent in America? What would you do?

I'm against them. But the CIA, government, corporations, and most politicians are fine with it.

Look at the history of experimentation in the US, like on Wikipedia, and then tell me what you think. It goes on regardless of what the people want of the LIES that politicians tell. I remember a ruling right after WWII about human experiments, how it was wrong and how people should know and give consent. Right. Then they do it in prisons. The 1950s saw the CIA doing it, under code names and hidden from the public, even the government, so it could keep up with the USSR.

There is NOTHING we can do. Even if most of the US disagrees, guess what? The politicians do what they want. Just look at the spying bill they passed last night.

I'm STILL a little uncomfortable that even with those -legal- ones back in the 1960s, with the fake electroshock and actors pretending to be tortured, to see if people would follow orders to hurt someone, that no one threw one of the researchers through one of their own one-way mirrors.

I'm terribly afraid that if new -illegal- ones came to light, that no one would do a damn thing.

Look how long it took for the government to even admit they were sponsoring studies where black men were kept from antibiotics and allowed to die of syphilis in the Tuskegee atrocity

or that the U.S. Army tested germ warfare spreading in NYC subway tunnels and on the streets of Washington D.C.

and the U.S. Navy in aerosols over large parts of the San Francisco Bay Area

or the CIA's MK Ultra experiments brainwashing unknowing people with drugs (resulting in mental illnesses, and in at least two cases, death).

AND -nobody- went to prison for any of those things. Not one solitary soul.

I don't think this system CAN be reformed.

Eh, what I don't know won't hurt me.

If they come up with a breakthrough, then say that it came from unapproved research... I'm not sure I could get irritated by that.

I would enforce the law. Unfortunately after 7 years of Obama a lot of people have gotten away from the concept of doing that.

Obviously, I detest them as I think any feeling human should.
