History

Historically, there are very many examples of horrific consequences of attempts to add to scientific knowledge ranging from World War II Nazi experiments to the Tuskegee syphilis studies.

You will be astounded at what researchers have imposed on subjects in the name of finding solutions to disease processes. You can access these historical accounts through the Historic Research page. As you access these sites, ask yourself the following questions: Was this research necessary? Was the benefit of the research worth the risk? Could the consequences have been prevented by different research design?
