Orphans as Guinea Pigs
Bercovici, Konrad | June 29, 1921 issue

A Study was conducted in the United States, in which scurvy and rickets were induced in infants to prove that certain diets were responsible for those diseases. According to the author, it is of course understood that studies of the effects of different diets on children should be made, that conclusions drawn from experiments on animals are provisional and must await substantiation on man, but where the experiments lead to such diseases as scurvy and rickets, and the subjects are institutional infants and not volunteers, the end in view does not justify the method.
