Tragedy.
...imagine that you're a poor person living during hard economic
times. Your government offers you free medical care. Sounds good.
But what if the real reason you're approached is because you have a
disease. But instead of giving you medical care, the doctors are
really just watching what happens when this disease goes untreated.
Suppose a miracle then happens and a treatment is found for your
disease. Instead of giving you the new medicine, the doctors
continue the experiment of watching the disease go untreated. Years
pass, some of your friends who were also in the study die, some pass
the disease to their wives and children.
