A member of the Stolen Generations says that Australian Aboriginal children have been used as experimental specimens for testing the effects of new medicines. The tests proved to be life threatening for the meek Aborigines who feel shameful even...

First the Australian ’white’ government had forcibly taken the children of mixed parentage from their parents and now they are using them as lab animals. The entire world should condemn this act of the Australian government.

I agree such practices are really cruel and any government implementing them should be throughly condemned.

I am sorry but this is a lot of ”ifs”. It is an allegation that is yet to be confirmed. If it is true I hope there is paperwork to back it up and not some word of mouth theory.
Arpita and your comments on the alledged ”Stolen Generation”. I agree that mistakes were made by the Australian governments from 1900 to 1972.
It is estimated that 30,000 children were removed in that period of 70 years. It wasn’t just aboriginal children removed by also children with a cuacasion parent and also children with both parents being caucasion.
All countries have things that shame them and this is one of Australias.
If we started looking at India and since it took over control from the British in 1947.
There would be a very long list.

Yes, we all hope that nothing of the kind mentioned in the article has actually happened..because if it did it is an unforgivable crime

How did 30,000 become a lost generation..? I still don’t understand..At first it seemed a type of colonial casta, but from 2 caucasian parents as well? Hopefully, it is a purely hypothetical claim.

Hi Oscar...nice to see you here. Let’s hope that this turns out to be purely hypothetical claim. Otherwise, the world cannot tolerate the thought of such a lot of cruelty being meted out to these humble natives of Australia.

Leena, I have heard of guinea pigs, mice and monkeys being used for such experiments. I have always condemned these experiments because every life should be treated equal irrespective of its life form.
Under such circumstances, if leprosy serums are tested on human being no matter what denomination they belong to, it is unpardonable. In fact, it is criminal and should be punished.

Hi Vincent…nice to see you here. Yes, every life regardless of the form deserves utmost respect. Conducting laboratory tests on any life form is a heinous crime, and as you said, punishable. Our researchers have to find other ways to test the products they invent

reminds me of the nazi concentration camps!

Hi Shahwar...you are correct. This experiment does remind one of the cruelty that was meted out in the Nazi concepntration camps.Let’s hope its not true

sorry for deviating from the topic, but your post is so apt to what i saw recently, that i could not resist!
you see, the nazi concentration camps, also had Clinics!
these were Even ghastlier and deadlier than the camps themselves!
the inmates were operated upon and amputated at free will!
but most importantly the fact which is relevant to your post is that big pharmaceutical companies of the world used to send in their toxic drugs to be tested upon THE INMATES!
and the results, trust me, were GRUESOME!
there’s a disturbing documentary on the concentration camps which i saw recently, and there has been nothing so detailed till date, which i have seen!

Thanks for sharing this information with all of us out here, Shahwar. Its rather shocking to know that the Nazi clinics meted out such a horrendous treatment to their inmates. God bless the victims!

Hello Rameshji...I think I am seeing you for the first time on my blog.I agree with you. Of course it is very cruel to treat human beings like guinea pigs for experimental purposes

Children are very much prone to diseases that’s why they need health care. How come there are people who are heartless to do this kind of thing? There are lots of animals in our environment so why did they choose the children for their experiment? They must be punished for what they have done. It seems like everywhere you turn, there’s a story about how unhealthy Americans have become. Obesity and diabetes are on the rise among adults and children alike. That’s why we must be careful on what foods to eat. There are times the some of us because of being short in cash we would just buy food that are affordable but with low nutrition value. A recent story in the New York Times reported that kidney stones are becoming more and more common in children as young as 5 or 6. A child with kidney stones used to be a rare occurrence, but now, some hospitals have opened pediatric kidney stone clinics in order to accommodate all of the kids that come in with kidney stones. The main preventative measure parents can take to help their children avoid developing a kidney stone is to encourage them to stay hydrated and discourage the over consumption of salt. However, it’s hard for parents to be with their kids all the time to ensure they’re putting the right things in their bodies—like at school—and sometimes kids just don’t listen. Not only is a kidney stone harmful to your kid, it can be a major blow to your budget. If your child develops a kidney stone, or is hit with some other health issue, you can always get payday installment loans to help cover the medical costs until you get paid next.

The never-ending cycle of unemployment, poverty, health problem, terrorism, increasing standard of living of people, insufficient supply of food are just some of the current problem our economy is facing today and sadly there were almost 10 million of the world’s children dies each year at the age of five because of hunger especially in Africa. Honestly, I would probably still be in a financial mess if it weren’t for payday loans. I thought I was the only one, but apparently there are many people who, with the help of payday loans, were able to get their lives back to normal after something unexpected happens. In times of emergency it’s unacceptable to wait for the things you need, like money; that’s why payday loans are such a great resource. You can get money right when you need it, and you don’t have to deal with any added stress when you’re already stressed out from whatever emergency just turned your world upside down.

As an Australian myself, I have never heard even a whisper of something like this. At least from where I’m standing, Australia and its government is very concerned with protecting Indiginous Australian’s rights.
I would like to know your source for such information or at least when the claim was made. Was this during the time of the ’stolen generation’ (1869-1970s) our more recently?

I apolagize, I did not notice the ABC link. However, my understanding is that this is something that happened during the time of the stolen generation and is not a current happening?
