SAN FRANCISCO — A prominent California medical school has apologized for conducting dozens of unethical medical experiments on at least 2,600 incarcerated men in the 1960s and 1970s, including putting pesticides
and herbicides on the men’s skin and injecting it into their veins.

Two dermatologists at the University of California, San Francisco — one
of whom remains at the university — conducted the experiments on men at
the California Medical Facility, a prison hospital in Vacaville that’s
about 50 miles (80.47 kilometers) northeast of San Francisco. The
practice was halted in 1977.

The university’s Program for Historical Reconciliation issued a report
about the experiments earlier this month, writing that the doctors
engaged in “questionable informed consent practices” and performed procedures on men who did not have any of the diseases or conditions
that the research aimed to treat. The San Francisco Chronicle first
reported the program’s findings Wednesday."

I'm wondering what in the world you can "treat" with injections of pesticides? And what was in it for the people Lampoon was paid to babysit?

Perhaps the "volunteers" got "Atta Boys" in their jackets, and there was most likely some free "cha cha", & glazed donuts, involved to close the deal? The crap we made convicts sign were mind boggling even to the educated, for toxic chemicals used as
cleaning supplies... There were pages of information the convicts testified they understood..... Some of them were unsure even what planet they were on......

I'm mystified as you are, about why the pesticide experiments on humans were conducted? Isn't that the sort of fiendish stuff Nazis did, to their prisoners?
