Pros And Cons Of Dioxin Experiments

Over the course of many years scientists and medical doctors perform unethical experiments on human subjects; regardless of what their condition is or if they have been diagnosed with a disease. Although, the use of humans for experiments to further develop cures for diseases, or to improve weaponry in war has always been a questionable practice. Hundreds of medical experiments have been performed by various doctors such as: The Tuskegee Syphilis Study by the U.S Public Health Service, the experiments conducted in Nazi Germany by Josef Mengele, the experiments performed in Guatemala by John Cutler, etc. Under no circumstances human experimentation is not justified. In addition, unethical experimentation should be outlawed because of the potential

Experimentation wise, when scientists conduct experiments, they’re clearly altering something in some type of way to destroy human nature. Regardless if it’s genes, prisoners, healthy human-beings, orphans, or children. Finally, the Dioxin Experiments of 1965-1966 proves the torture and interrogation that physicians conducted during experiments on their subjects. Dr. Kligman conducted dioxin experiments on seventy prisoners at Holmesburg regarding dow chemicals. The New York Times reports that “Kligman subjected 10 inmates to 7,500 micrograms of the toxic chemical…” (1965-1966) Dioxin is a substance that’s found in the chemical Agent Orange; it was used during the Vietnam War and is fatal to one's health. Kligman reported that “‘eight of the 10 subjects showed acne lesions. . . In three instances, the lesions progressed to inflammatory pustules and papules. These lesions lasted for four to seven months, since no effort was made to speed healing by active treatment.’” (1965-1966) Intoxicating prisoners with fatal substances that are found in chemicals that are used during genocide is a violation of core ethical values during human
