from getting gonorrhea. this touches on the ethical issues we will get to with radiation experiments. the experiments here were at the federal prison in terre haute, indiana. they were proposing to give these men gonorrhea and see of penicillin could be used to treat it. they knew that this was likely to be sensitive. so, in a memo from the head of the committee on medical research, it said, when risks are involved, volunteers should only be utilized as subjects, and these only after the risks have been fully explained and after signed statements of been obtained, which will prove that the volunteer offered his services with full knowledge. this is a pretty clear indication of what you need to do to do experiments on people that might hurt them. it might have had wider applicability had it not been a secret memo. it is unclear who actually wrote them. in any event, the experiments were stopped after a short time, because it turned out it was more difficult than you might think to give people gonorrhea. they

whether they were forced to contract a deadly stomach bug or given gonorrhea or malaria, prison inmatese used for incredibly painful medical experiments with half of u.s. states allowing these practices. it was not until 1973 that this exploitation came to a head during congressional hearings and industry officials acknowledge they were using prisoners. the reason? prisoners were cheaper than chimpanzees. then senator hubert humphrey declared it is our moral responsibility to see that the poor and the uneducated and the captive are not left unprotected as human guinney pigs. yet, those on death row are still being subjected to painful and unethical experimentation. pharmaceutical suppliers that once provided the drug for lethal injection now refuse based on opposition to the death penalty. so states are experimenting with untested drug combinations to horrifying effect. the latest happened wednesday in arizona. the fourth botched execution this year. 55-year-old joseph rudolph wood was injected with a two-drug cocktail never before tried in arizona. it took him one hour and 57 minutes t
