Beyond horrified. Experimenting on poor kids now? (Okay, not, it appears.)

What the FUCK is this, Nazi Germany? How dare they do this in my country? How dare they?

If it were anything but the BBC, I would say that this had to be a hoax.


ETA: It's not a hoax, but apparently it isn't credible. Thanks to szandara for setting the record straight. That'll teach me not to check out horrific and incredible-sounding stories...

Oh, I've heard of Tuskeegee... we're just supposed to be "beyond this" by now. It's more comfortable for people to believe that we are. This particular instance was just so blatant, though. Really horrifiying. I will now make lots of noise and post this around. Plus I've passed the link to cleolinda, who has a bazillion readers, and asked her to publicize it.

It's the blogosphere. Word spreads. Unfortunately for those who rely on secrecy.
