In my research paper I want to explore the lies and crimes that the government ha been committing over the past few decades. More specifically I am trying to expose the continued to use humans as guinea pigs to test some new drug or technique that would never be sanctioned by ethical means. I want to share the testimonies of these human lab rats that lived through the outrageous side effects and are speaking out against the unethical government that administered the tests. Most of these experiments were done on the military without the servicemen’s knowledge because all they are told to do was follow and carry out orders handed down to them without questioning them. Being a Marine myself I want to find out the truth about these tests and see if any kind of regulation or change has occurred throughout the years.
The United States government has been committing unethical human experimentation crimes on innocent people for decades and it’s time to find out the truth of the actual regulation behind the experiments.
What I know is that the government has been subjecting the military to various experimental drugs over the years to supposedly help them become better warriors in the field. Most of these experiments were thought to protect Marines, Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen from various ailments they might run into overseas. Some were even thought to protect against chemical war fare and even nuclear fallout. Most of these “protectants” were either given in pill form or even by injection under the skin. Most of these miracle cures had terrible side effect such as birth defects, blindness, deafness, sterilization and even malformation of some appendages. In some cases the participants suffered terminal side effects that lead to death most of the time.
I need to find out exactly how long this has been going on behind the backs of Americans. I want to hear the testimonies of those who survived the trials and see if it is true that most of the participants were in the military. I want to know what the human guinea pigs family’s had to endure through the trials. I want to know how far up the chain of command the knowledge of these experiments goes. If there are test sites out there that were of the top secret nature that not many people know about or if they were done in some veteran hospital somewhere in the United States.
Some might say that there is no such thing and I’m just paranoid. That our government would never do anything to intentionally harm any citizen.
