Well, today in 2026 there would be informed consent.

  There is no reason to assume that. The US currently inters tens of thousands of people without access to family or legal counsel.

    Are we currently experimenting on these prisoners like the imperial japanese army? The answer is absolutely not.

  Would you like to hear about treatment of prisoners in early middle age Europe?
• grayhatter 4mo ago
  Why 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?

    Things go through institutional review boards now that are concerned with such past failures.
    • grayhatter 4mo ago
      I admire your trust in other people.
      • asdff 4mo ago
        Do you have a better solution?
        • grayhatter 4mo ago
          Yes, don't perform medical experiments on people who can't consent, and loudly object when someone suggests anything that sounds like it.

            That 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.
