“Everyone will have heard of ATP as the universal energy currency, but it’s really this charge across the membrane which is driving all the work” (Nick Lane @ 7:42).
“This charge of 30 million volts per meter, it’s pretty serious. You better have a control unit next to it. The mitochondria have got these control units. What it allows them to do is effectively scale up over orders of magnitude for a relatively low genetic cost” (Nick Lane @ 24:40).
Seems like, in other words, at the interstitial event horizons between rulial realms and phenomenological abstraction layers between the implicate and explicate orders, we find only more, and more cracks in your 20th century wilty-weeney weltanschauung, poo-flinging chimpanzees (to whom the mockery of mockers applies, only).

| 1 | Medical Apartheid: The Dark History of Medical Experimentation on Black Americans from Colonial Times to the Present | Harriet A. Washington | 2007 | Racialized experiments from slavery (e.g., J. Marion Sims) through Tuskegee, prison studies, and into modern trials | Pulitzer-recognized; broadest U.S. scope; explains persistent mistrust in medicine among minorities; frequently called the most comprehensive single volume. |
| 2 | The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks | Rebecca Skloot | 2010 | Story of Henrietta Lacks’ cells harvested without consent; intersects science, race, ethics | Best-selling (millions of copies); accessible narrative; bridges history to present-day debates on tissue rights and profiteering. |
| 3 | Bad Blood: The Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment | James H. Jones | 1993 | 40-year U.S. study denying treatment to Black men with syphilis | Classic foundational text; directly led to ethical reforms; praised for devastating detail on racism in science. |
| 4 | The Nazi Doctors: Medical Killing and the Psychology of Genocide | Robert Jay Lifton | 1986 | How German physicians conducted experiments and euthanasia | Seminal psychological analysis; origin of many modern ethical codes; essential for understanding how “normal” professionals become perpetrators. |

Allen M. Hornblum Says
I began working in prisons 50 years ago. I was just out of grad school and I accepted the challenge of starting a literacy program in the Philadelphia Prison System. The shock of cellblock life was eye-opening, but the most unexpected revelation was the sight of scores of inmates wrapped in bandages and medical tape. Unknown to the general public, the three city prisons had become a lucrative appendage of the University of Pennsylvania’s Medical School. As I would discover years later, thousands of imprisoned Philadelphians had been used in a cross-section of unethical and dangerous scientific studies running the gamut from simple hair dye and athlete’s foot trials to radioactive isotope, dioxin, and US Army chemical warfare studies. My account of the prison experiments, Acres of Skin, helped instill in me an abiding faith in well-researched journalism as an antidote to societal indiscretions and crimes.

What is my book about?
This groundbreaking book explores the underbelly of American medicine, the sordid history of scientific researchers using developmentally impaired children in overcrowded and underfunded state institutions as raw material for medical research. Against Their Will documents how thousands of children in hospitals, orphanages, and other public asylums became unwilling subjects in countless experimental studies during the 20th century.
