I will give you just a taste, below here. For the other bad things go to the link.

Hepatitis in retarded children

Severely retarded children at the Willowbrook State Hospital in New York injected with hepatitis virus. This Hospital did not admit new patients after 1964, unless their parents "consented" to the experiment. Consent forms implied that children were to receive a vaccine against hepatitis, when the protection was actually from a hopefully "subclinical" infection. Physician made excuse: fecally-borne viral hepatitis was so prevalent at the Hospital (because approximately 70% of children had IQ below 20 and were not toilet trained) that children routinely became infected 6 to 12 months after admission. But isn't that like murderer saying that victim was going to die sometime, all he did was kill earlier and under better circumstances?

Here is the Wikipedia entry for it.

I think the problem goes back to the philosophy that the end justifies the means. That easily allows bad behavior to achieve short sighted goals.
