QUOTATION OF THE DAY

"It’s ironic — no, it’s worse than that, it’s appalling — that, at the same time as the United States was prosecuting Nazi doctors for crimes against humanity, the U.S. government was supporting research that placed human subjects at enormous risk."
DR. MARK SIEGLER, of the Maclean Center for Clinical Medical Ethics, on a program in the late 1940’s to deliberately infect Guatemalans with venereal diseases, in a test of penicillin.
