There is no greater good when people are killed for the sake of 'science'.
What arrogance! --SW)

US Scientist Brought Death To Amazononians
posted 30th September 2000
Paul Brown
Thousands of South American Indians were infected with measles, killing
hundreds, so that United States scientists could study the effects on
primitive societies of natural selection, according to a book due to be
published next week. The story of genetic research on humans, which took 10
years to uncover, is likely to shake the world of anthropology to its core,
according to Professor Terry Turner of Cornell University, who has read the
proofs. "In its scale, ramifications and sheer criminality and corruption it
is unparalleled in the history of anthropology," Prof Turner says in a
warning letter to Louise Lamphere, the president of the American
Anthropology Association (AAA). The book accuses James Neel, the geneticist
who headed a long-term project to study the Yanomami people of Venezuela in
the mid-60s, of using a virulent measles vaccine to spark an epidemic that
killed hundreds and probably thousands. Once the epidemic was under way,
says the book, the research team "refused to provide any medical assistance
to the sick and dying Yanomami, on explicit order from Neel. He insisted to
his colleagues that they were only there to observe and record the epidemic,
and that they must stick strictly to their roles as scientists, not provide
medical help". Darkness In El Dorado, by the investigative journalist
Patrick Tierney, is due to be published on October 1.
Prof Turner, whose letter was co-signed by fellow anthropologist Leslie
Sponsel of the University of Hawaii, was trying to warn the AAA of the
impending scandal so the profession could defend itself. Although Neel died
last February, many of his associates, including authors of classic
anthropology texts, are still alive. The accusations will be aired at the
AAA's annual meeting in November, when scientists have been invited to
defend their work. None has commented publicly, but they are asking
colleagues to come to their defence. One of the most controversial aspects
of the research that allegedly culminated in the epidemic is that it was
funded by the US atomic energy commission, which was anxious to discover
what might happen to communities when large numbers were wiped out by
nuclear war. While there are no texts or recorded speeches by Neel
explaining his conduct, Prof Turner believes the only explanation is that he
was trying to test controversial eugenic theories like the Nazi scientist
Josef Mengele. He quotes another anthropologist who read the manuscript as
saying: "Mr Tierney's analysis is a case study of the dangers in science of
the uncontrolled ego, of lack of respect for life, and of greed and
self-indulgence. It is a further extraordinary revelation of malicious and
perverted work conducted under the aegis of the atomic energy commission."
Prof Turner says Neel and his group used a virulent vaccine called Edmonson
B on the Yanomami. It was known to produce symptoms virtually
indistinguishable from cases of measles. "There is no record that Neel
sought any medical advice before applying the vaccine. He never informed the
appropriate organs of the Venezuelan government that his group was planning
to carry out a vaccination campaign, as he was legally required to do."
Prof Turner says that Neel thought that "natural" human society, before the
advent of large-scale agriculture, consists of small, isolated groups in
which dominant genes - specifically a gene he believed existed for
"leadership" or "innate ability" - have a selective advantage. Male carriers
of this gene would gain access to a disproportionate total of females,
reproducing their genes more frequently than less "innately able" males. The
result is continual upgrading of the human genetic stock. He says Neel
believed that in modern societies superior leadership genes would be swamped
by mass genetic mediocrity. "The political implication of this fascistic
eugenics is clearly that society should be reorganised into small breeding
isolates in which genetically superior males could emerge into dominance,
eliminating or subordinating the male losers in the competition for
leadership and women, and amassing harems of brood females," Prof Turner
adds. In the memo he says: "One of Tierney's more startling revelations is
that the whole Yanomami project was an outgrowth and continuation of the
atomic energy commission's secret programme of experiments on human
subjects."
Neel was part of the medical and genetic research team attached to the
atomic energy commission since the days of the Manhattan Project. Well-known
for his research into the effects of radiation on humans, Neel led the team
that investigated the effects of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs on
survivors and their children. According to Prof Turner, the same group
secretly carried out experiments on humans in the US. These included
injecting people with radioactive plutonium without their knowledge. "This
nightmarish story - a real anthropological heart of darkness beyond the
imagining of even a Joseph Conrad (though not, perhaps, a Josef Mengele) -
will be seen (rightly in our view) by the public, as well as most
anthropologists, as putting the whole discipline on trial," he says. "This
book should . . . cause the field to understand how the corrupt and depraved
protagonists could have spread their poison for so long while they were
accorded great respect throughout the Western world...This should never be
allowed to happen again." In a statement, the AAA said it was "extremely
concerned" about the allegations. "If proven true they would constitute a
serious violation of Yanomami human rights and our code of ethics . . . The
association is anticipating conducting an open forum during our annual
meeting to provide an opportunity for our members to review and discuss the
issues and allegations raised in the book." .
