Advances in medical technology can be largely associated with human experimentation. It is widely known that drugs created for humans must undergo human clinical trials to be proven effective. When this form of experimentation is voluntary, it benefits all of humanity. It so happens that unfortunately sometimes volunteers are misinformed about the dangers of testing or are tested without their knowledge. Attempts have been made to remedy this global problem through laws and regulations, but gaps can still be found within them. Time has shown the world that these laws are simply not enough. Tougher laws should be enacted to prevent the world's history of unethical human experimentation from repeating itself. It's easy to forget how serious the problem of unethical human experimentation is: most of the world lives in blissful ignorance of the tragedy of this practice or feels protected by regulations put in place by state governments. The problems of human experimentation are usually glossed over or hidden. Hiding the issue, regulations, and public misinformation leads the majority to believe that corrupt human experimentation is no longer a danger. The reality of the matter is that unethical human tests are carried out in many countries, even those that are medically well developed.
