Experimentation on the prison population.

[katsy]

First they came for the mice

Then they came for prisoners

Then they tried pesticides on babies

Is there any question in anyones mind that corporations have little value for human life?

[soothsayer]

1. By law, we're ALLOWED to experiment on soldiers with or without

their consent. Not supposed to do it to prisoners and the rest of us, of course.

[katsy]

2. I guess that's the puke way of supporting the troops.

It's not fine by me and I doubt many people would support this method. It's madness.

3. they came for the mice?

are you comparing the life of a mouse with that of a human being? I respect animals, but I do not think it's wrong to conduct certain testing on animals for a greater good. Obviously some testing they do is cruel- but not all testing is unethical.

[katsy]

4. No. Not a comparison.

Just questioning how far is far enough.

It's a moral question to me.

I have a problem with experimentation on people.

It's like corporations need to push the envelope just a little further than what has been acceptable.

5. this is what Hitler did

[katsy]

6. Yes he did.

And the world condemned this behavior.


Prisons have been privatized.

What's to stop them from accepting bribes from corporations to conduct illegal or unethical experiments? Who would know?

I mean - look at China... harvesting organs from prisoners that are still alive?

Is this where we as a country are heading?
