It's always easiest to "experiment" on the poor and powerless. Since "they" are the cause of the "problem" it's OK to "experiment" to try to fix "them" [[and cheaper than actually dealing with the problems and fixing what has been broken). And, after all, the price for failure in these "experiments' [[other than the profits pocketed by the experimenters) is just more poor dark people down there where the crazy scary dark people live, so who cares...
