Aboriginal children used as experimental specimens for testing leprosy serum
Made Popular Sep 14 2008
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
