The recent US apology for the "medical tests" in Guatemala were surprising. Tests like that is what we like to think of in creepy places such as Nazi Germany. It's hard to argue against the charge. BBC:
US testing that infected hundreds of Guatemalans with gonorrhoea and syphilis more than 60 years ago was a "crime against humanity", Guatemalan President Alvaro Colom has said.
President Barack Obama has apologised for the medical tests, in which mentally ill patients and prisoners were infected without their consent.
Mr Obama told Mr Colom the 1940s-era experiments ran contrary to American values, Guatemala said.
