Guatemalans on Saturday slammed a US confession that it led a 1940s study in the Central American country in which hundreds of people were deliberately infected with sexually transmitted diseases.
"No matter how much of a superpower it is, the United States cannot do this kind of experimentation," Nery Rodenas, the chief of the human rights office at the archbishop of Guatemala's office, told reporters.
"They used Guatemalans as lab rats. It is important that family members receive some kind of compensation."
Lawmaker Zury Rios also urged compensation for not only the victims, but the nation as a whole.
"It is just not enough to say you are sorry. We need to be compensated as a (sovereign) State, maybe with the funding of a solid sex and reproductive health program," she insisted.

Gimme, gimme, gimme.
Something different.
These morons didn’t have a clue about this until that blithering idiot, BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA, made a big deal about it. Americans need to ship Barry’s goatsmellin’ @$$ to Guatamala and tell them he’s all the “compensation” they’re going to get from us.
Well that didn't take long.
Oh get over it, it was 1940
If not for America you idiots would be speaking German/Japanese
Losers
BTW be sure to compensate USA for all the illegals you dump here from your sorry ass country
Thanks to Odumbass APOLOGIZING to them the other day they can now sue everyone
Is this moron HOPING TO GET ALL THESE OTHER COUNTRIED TO SUE US?
WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING APOLOGIZING FOR A 40 YEAR OLD EXPERIMENT HE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH? WHEN DID HE HEAR ABOUT THIS?
I guess that has changed, so now the US is the sole scumbags!
i’m sorry.. 70 YEAR OLD!!!!!!!
WHEN DOES ODUMBASS APOLOGIZE TO THE INDIANS AND SLAVES AND REALLY SET OFF A $HIT$TORM???????????
As soon as you compensate us for the millions of pounds of cocaine that has gone through your country and made it to the US which has resulted in 1,000s of deaths and murders and billions of dollars of wasted money on the War on Drugs.
Toss in the cost of incarcerating and deporting the thousands of Guatamalen criminals we have to pay for and maybe, just maybe, we'll have the beginnings of a rational conversation.
“It is important that family members receive some kind of compensation.”
Never could have seen that coming.
If the Spanish had not killed off the Indians of the West Indies, they would be by rights apologizing to the Europeans and others because Columbus' men got syphilis from the natives.
Oh what fained outrage. The Government in Guatemala was aware and cooperated with the medical experiments. So boo freaking hoo.
Cry me a river.
We take care of plenty of your citizens.
Didn’t you get your check, from your expatriated citizens, this month?
Where is documentation of this study?
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Excuse me, but just who was President during that period?
