| slightly: If the same experiments were performed on willing people who were willing even after a full disclosure and were capable of giving informed consent - would the experiment still be "evil"? (not like the "Tuskeegee Airmen" - I think that's who that group of American Black men were who were also experimented on without consent by their government - in the same time period, more or less, by the way)
The point I'm trying to make is that medical experiments are not inherently evil, but the context of the actions (are the performed within certain moral and ethical guidelines) make the act "evil". And that's only because we're defining "evil" to mean "violating a person's inalienable rights (of life, liberty, pursuit of happiness)" |
