oh baby I knew it from the fuckin moment the addc was introduced that there’s just no damn way they DIDNT have some legally sketchy shit going on with the alzheimers/dementia patients and unethical clinical trials. I feel so vindicated right now

#im on chapter 9 of judgement #I know my SHIT when it comes to human experimentation and medical ethics #and criminal investigation in general frankly that’s a big reason I was so excited to play this game (I’ve taken college classes in this) #but yeah the moment the addc is introduced and we see the layout of the place and details like the gigantic dementia patient ward right next #to the research facility and such I was like mm….. that can’t be good #I was rambling to my friend during that like. yeah they could probably get away with doing basically whatever they want with these patients #because of all the conditions to research alzheimer’s and dementia make for some of the easiest to strip subjects of their autonomy #making informed consent and whatnot most likely not an issue and complaints about malpractice or what have you extremely easy to stifle #ie; if you are a patient there you are probably just straight up trapped. no one’s gonna listen to you you have no autonomy and- #the sad but true fact about the situation is that people don’t have the time/resources/capacity to be caretakers for their alzheimers/ #dementia-ridden loved ones so a place like this- a leading research/medical facility said to be on its way to finding a cure and changing #the world- would seem like the perfect place to send a loved one in need of full time care and trust that they will do nothing but good #so it’s a great setup to get patients who are likely to die as it is- who have no autonomy- who have no credibility- and have nowhere to go. #I couldn’t help but think about that like. immediately after seeing the ward #so. here we are. let’s see where this goes #judgement #judgment spoilers #rambling #I have a weird special interest sorta thing in medical ethics / human experimentation and I have a character who literally teaches a #class on the topic (and is a surgeon) so. that’s why I’m like. especially intrigued right now
