Plus no one quite cares enough to complain.
Seriously -- I know nothing about medical research beyond that it involved nude mice (heh-heh). Is this sort of thing -- testing drugs on children without them knowing about it -- normal? Who consents on behalf of a foster child?
I am reminded of the Tuskegee syphillis experiments. Is that wrong?
