I hope that the age in which such attempts are made is over. However, one could also think somewhat cynically that these tests are now legal and that people volunteer for them. On a scientific basis one could say that no development can do without various wrong attempts and also damage. This is the dark side of experiments... I have different thoughts and feelings about it. It always depends on the extent to which research involves ethics in its deliberations and commissions are formed that are prepared to pursue ethical questions. This is a difficult subject...
Your story demonstrated the human mistakes well and grabbed the reader by the balls :)
Thank you! I meant to grab readers, and if that's where I grabbed them, OK by me :)
