#8 – Marion Sims
via 36.media.tumblr.com complain
In the 19th century Marion Sims has conducted a lot of experiments on women, as he was looking for ways of treating vesico-vaginal fistula. Despite of good intentions, he forced slaves to surgery without making them aware about true goals. Women were operated several times without painkillers. The collected data were useful for medicine, but they were convicted because they were held by force.
