Why Is Inhumane Testing Wrong

I have been separated from my mother and God only knows what is happening to her. They said she would be okay, but is that true? Who knows if I’ll ever see her again? They told me my mom was the answer, what does that even mean? I’m lost and scared. The doctors said she would be safe. This was the thought of many children and families across America and Europe in the 20th century. Scientist always had a reason to do what they did, whether it was unethical or not. They performed scientific experiments on children, women, men, and people of all races like African-Americans and Jews. As experiments became a frowned upon subject, scientists and researchers covered up their inhumane experiments by deceiving innocent people, which also dealt and …show more content…
The scientists do not tell the truth when it comes to doing what they believe is right. They do this because most scientists would do anything for the sake of the human race. The most awful experiments done were the tests done on twins by the notorious scientist, Joseph Mengele (Nazi Medical…). He did those experiments to determine what different results come from different races and families. Furthermore, later throughout time doctors and researchers began to deceive people into letting them test on them without full acknowledgment on what was going on. One event that gives us crystal clear proof of this is the Tuskegee Syphilis experiments. In these experiments, doctors wrongfully deceived many African-Americans.

The test involved leaving untreated syphilis in the patients and sometimes they would inject the people with …show more content…

She was diagnosed with cancer in her cervix, and as a result she was taken to the hospital and from there doctors put radium into her cervix without her consent and left it there to see if any improvement would happen(The Immortal…pg.53). After time and time again doctors and researchers cannot seem to understand the concept of privacy and human rights, they keep on believing that anything is okay, even if it means they have to do anything, for science. They violated the law and more importantly, they lied to Henrietta about what was happening and they definitely did not have any possible reason to do such a thing to her. All the pain she felt from the days to come was too much to bear and she soon died because of the exposure to the radium, the experiment they had hoped would work, did not and it was all in
