A member of the Stolen Generations says that Australian Aboriginal children have been used as experimental specimens for testing the effects of new medicines. The tests proved to be life threatening for the meek Aborigines who feel shameful even speaking about it. If this incident were true, it is not the victimized Aborigines who should be shameful about the entire incident, but all those so-called ‘highly educated people’ who are using them for experimental purposes. It is understood that they are conducting these experiments on a sample population to benefit a larger population with the invented medications. But is it right to sacrifice innocent lives for the benefit of others? Nowadays, with the advancement in simulation technology, it is possible to predict the outcomes of a particular drug without actually trying the drugs out on any life form.

It is pathetic to acknowledge that not only human beings but also animals are being ruthlessly used for experimental purposes. In this case it might be a leprosy serum, but even for testing some products like cosmetics, animals are being targeted. In some countries, stringent human and animal rights laws have been formulated to protect against experimental abuse. These laws are to be incorporated into the legal framework of even the remotest civilizations of the world. It is the responsibility of each and every citizen to raise his/her voice against any violation of these laws. Nobody has the right to play with the life of another.
