2. This is a weighty issue. Take some time to mull it over. For your post: Consider which of the "four primary ethical violations" is the worst:
The four primary ethical violations:
a) study subjects 'were members of one or more vulnerable populations;'
b) there is no evidence they gave informed consent;
c) they were often deceived about what was being done to them;
d) they were intentionally infected with pathogens that could cause serious illness without their understanding or consent.
3. In your comment, follow each of the following steps:
a) Decide which of the violations is the most abhorrent to you. Explain your rationale with a minimum of three logical examples.
b) Each sentence in your comment must start with a different word.
Example: The word "I" may not be used to begin a sentence more than once in a single post. Choose your words carefully. Make each one count.
c) When citing a quote from the article, use this resource: The Owl is Your Friend (see: Sources from the Internet or Electronic Resources).
EXTRA CREDIT:
Thoughtfully and respectfully comment on another classmate's post.

In my personal opinion, the fact that the subjects of this test were infected with pathogens that cause such serious illness, just on it’s own, is a terrible act. To not let them know what was being put into their bodies, even worse. These people were innocent, naïve, and unaware of what was being done to them. The diseases tested were not only contagious, but can mutate to become genetic, passing from them to their loved ones and children. These people did nothing to deserve such atrocities. If anything, the US should be paying reparations to them and their families.
