After WW2, some German doctors and government officials were executed for doing this sort of thing. Experimenting on living humans without their informed consent is a crime against humanity, especially if authorized by a government.
Time and again, it is proven true that not learning from the past causes you to repeat every mistake/crime of the past. Living by "the ends justifies the means" blinds you to the causes of your mistakes; arrogance is blinding and, ironically, also inefficient.
You can't blame this crime-as-policy on just one political party, since both parties have had plenty of power and opportunity over the last ~30 years to stop or prevent these no-consent studies. In a just world, the responsible parties (in the government and in the medical industry) would at least be imprisoned, but a lot of people are at least partially responsible. And we all know that this crime-as-policy will be memory-holed as much as the government can do so; and any remaining ire from the US citizenry will be deflected to a few politically-expendable individuals (e.g. the current FDA chief, or some CEOs). This is a systemic problem, that can only be solved through systemic changes, which will never occur; only tokens will be offered to reduce effects on election outcomes.
Incidentally, there is no "No-consent Study" article on Wikipedia. And the blood substitute articles give no mention of no-consent studies. I wonder if any of the investors in the companies conducting these studies even knew that they were funding crimes against humanity.
