Professor Uncovers Shocking Abuse By U.S. Doctors

It needs to be remembered that Senator Kennedy’s health and labor committee wisely sought and accepted testimony on the improper use of Massachusetts prisoners (at Norfolk medium-security prison) for testing of new medications — I supplied this info for the Committee* after a nurse, Sunny Robinson, who worked at Norfolk prison’s medical section, blew the facts to then Mass. legislator, Rep. Mel King The prisoners, incarcerated for having used drugs in the community — were given psychotropic test drugs !

The Nuremberg Convention and Helsinki Accords prohibit use of prisoners for experiments; when involuntarily held, no one is able to give informed consent that is required of researchers.

Worse still, at Jessup federal prison, outside D.C., A DOCTOR WAS PERMITTED BY THE US GOVT. TO CARRY OUT EXPERIMENTS ON PRISONERS, WITH A NUMBER OF DISEASES.

* I WAS WRITING FOR THE bOSTON PHOENIX alternative weekly
and still have my published report on the Norfolk experimenting, including names of corporations involved.

@Flora, thank you for alerting us to your work.
@Dr. Fleckenstein: You are correct that Tuskegee is nothing new. But what’s interesting in this interview is the information Prof. Susan Reverby found on Dr. John Cutler’s (also involved in Tuskegee) work in Guatemala. It seems his research trip to Guatemala may have informed his later work in Tuskegee. This is the *new* news; I encourage you to take a listen.
