- Summary:
- "Recounts the experiences of World War II conscientious objectors who volunteered for US government hepatitis experiments, combining archival research and volunteer David Miller's cartoons to examine the human costs, ethical dilemmas, and moral courage of these participants"-- Provided by publisher.
- "They weren't willing to kill for their country, but they were willing to die for it. During World War II, religious pacificst David Miller and a group of cinscientious objector made an extraordinary choice: they signed up for government-sponsored medical experiments that intentionally infected them with hepatitis. Their goal was simple but dangerous - help scientists understand a disease that was sickening American soldiers fighting on the front lines. Infected for Science tells this remarkable true sotry. Drawing on archival records and the sharp, humorous cartoons Miller himself sketched, this graphic novel follows the men through grueling medical tests, the looming fear of serious illness, and the discovery of another goup of individuals who were being subjected to disease-inducing medical studies without their consent. What emerges is both a griping, previously hidden history and a portrait of moral courage and conviction"--Back cover.
