Taking nude photos of an entire generation of college freshmen (without proper consent) is not scandalous?
Sure, it's not at the level of secret Plutonium injection, but still...
- duaneb 13y agoI don't think it's been scandalous for about four decades. Even when it was happening it was an open secret. I don't think 'scandal' ever truly applied; that implies surprise.
- stephencanon 13y agoThe phrase "nude photos", for better or worse, tends to make people think that there was some prurient interest in taking them. As far as any of the published accounts go, there wasn't; this was simply Not Very Good Science. It's certainly preferable to have consent before gathering clinical data, but I wouldn't make too big of a deal out of this. In the annals of things done without proper consent, this barely registers.
- JoeAltmaier 13y agoNonsense. All were essentially volunteers. Nobody held a gun to their head; they just put it on a schedule, and the freshmen lined up to comply. Its actually amusing; these captains of industry were such sheep when they were young. Makes you wonder when they grew a backbone, if at all.

- jpatokal 13y agoI wonder what happened if you refused and held your ground? Somebody must have during all those years.
- yongjik 13y agoSeriously? "Nobody held a gun to their head" is your criterion? For guys and gals fresh out of high school? Will you also tell me that employees can't sue for unpaid overtime, hazardous work environment, sexual harassment etc. because nobody held a gun and they could always quit? Such sheep, those common workers.
