In a post of at least 400 words drawing from these trial transcripts, all of which discuss the use of prisoners or institutionalized patients as experimental subjects, please address the following: science is supposed to be objective, but since people are the ones coming up with hypotheses and designing experiments, can it ever be free of political, ethnic, cultural, and religious bias?
