Tuskegee Truth Teller
- linuxkerneldev 9y ago"Despite his easy laugh and genial manner, he has the air of a man who fears the world is populated by blockheads and scoundrels." A valid fear.
- Intermernet 9y ago>The very first principle of the Nuremberg Code states, “The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential.” The code also directs researchers to protect subjects from disability, injury, or death, no matter how remote the possibility. It's worth remembering that MK Ultra was officially running until 1973 and broke exactly the same rules as the Tuskegee trials. This isn't ancient history, and it's definitely something people should be educated about, and vigilant in trying to prevent from happening again. I'm not from the US, and I can tell you that incidents like this are major stumbling blocks when the US asks other countries to trust it as "the leader of the Free World".

Forced sterilization without consent was carried out in the US on puerto ricans, natives, blacks, etc for decades after ww2. Canada also forcibly sterilized their natives well into the 1970s as did the australians on the aborigines. > I'm not from the US, and I can tell you that incidents like this are major stumbling blocks when the US asks other countries to trust it as "the leader of the Free World". It isn't a stumbling block since most of the "free world" is complicit as well. And the rest of the world is too poor or simply unawares of our misdeeds to care. Besides, we are the leader of the "free" world because we are the sole military superpower, not because we are the most "free" or "good".
