There would be informed consent. We aren't the SS.
- devmor 4mo agoThe SS's policy towards the interred was heavily inspired by the policies the United States was already famous for. We have a historically monstrous record of unethical medical testing against both interred and underprivileged populations.
- asdff 4mo agoWell, today in 2026 there would be informed consent.
- devmor 4mo agoThere is no reason to assume that. The US currently inters tens of thousands of people without access to family or legal counsel.
- asdff 4mo agoAre we currently experimenting on these prisoners like the imperial japanese army? The answer is absolutely not.
- WarmWash 4mo agoWould you like to hear about treatment of prisoners in early middle age Europe?
- grayhatter 4mo agoWhy is that true today, but wasn't true the many times some group in the US did medical experiments on some vulnerable population without a complete disclosure let alone consent?
- asdff 4mo agoThings go through institutional review boards now that are concerned with such past failures.
- grayhatter 4mo agoI admire your trust in other people.
- asdff 4mo agoDo you have a better solution?
- grayhatter 4mo agoYes, don't perform medical experiments on people who can't consent, and loudly object when someone suggests anything that sounds like it.
- asdff 4mo agoThat is what informed consent is designed to achieve. What you want people already thought about and tried to implement in a realistic way to achieve those goals.
- DANmode 4mo agoNon prisoners being prescribed this don’t know what gastroparesis is. In that context (no informed consent in drug sales), no, prisoners will not receive informed consent in drug trials.
- asdff 4mo ago>no, prisoners will not receive informed consent in drug trials. Citation needed.
