469 It is not clear to w hat study Dr. Cutler is referring. 
470 Dr. Cutler is possibly referencing the Stateville prison study of 1942, in which 432 inmates in the Illin ois 
Federal Penitentiary in Statev ille were intentionally infected w ith malaria while co nfin ed for 18 mo nths 
in a segregated part of the prison, through a mosquito vector. Informed consent was obtained from each 
subject Five days after exposure, the subjects were treated with an experimental intervention. Comfort, N. 
(2009, September). The prisoner as model organism: Malaria research at Stateville Penitentiary” Studies in 
History - and Philosophy " of Biological and Biomedical Science 40(3):190-203. 
471 Dr. Cutler is possibly referencing the Lynchburg Colony studies conducted during World War I at the 
Vir ginia Colony for the Epileptic and Feebleminded, where 190 patients between the ages of 15 and 57 
were given the “Rockefeller v accine,” know n to cause hepatitis and jaundice in a significant number of 
administrations, so the military could use the data on infectious hepatitis occurrences and treatment in the 
relev ant arenas of war. See Lombardo, P.A. (2004). ‘Of Utmost Urgency’: The Lynchburg Colony Hepatitis 
Study, 1942. In Moreno. J.D. (Ed.). In the Wake of Terror: Medicine and Morality in a Time of Crisis.
