China set to outstrip US in science research output

Raw Story

LONDON (AFP) – China has shot to second place in the number of articles published in international science magazines and in a few years will take the top spot from the United States, according to a new report.

"China has already overtaken the UK as the second leading producer of research publications, but some time before 2020 it is expected to surpass the USA," said the report by the Royal Society in London.

While the top 10 is still dominated by the major Western powers, their share of research papers published is falling, the report said.

And as well as China, Brazil and India are coming up fast...[Full Article]

Alfred Kinsey's Atrocities: Part 2

Child-rape victim's story prompts probe for more
Lawyers seek 'justice' for children targeted in 1940s sex 'research'

Editor's note: The following report is part of WND's ongoing, multipart investigation into alleged crimes committed by sex-research pioneer Alfred Kinsey and his Kinsey Institute.

WASHINGTON – Liberty Counsel, a Virginia-based public-interest law firm, is "seriously looking" at initiating legal action – including possibly a class-action lawsuit – against the Kinsey Institute at Indiana University.

Pioneering sex scientist Alfred Kinsey, widely considered the father of the sexual revolution whose influential research helped transform America's morals and sex laws, has been accused by critics of shoddy scholarly standards and, much more shockingly, participating in or encouraging the sexual molestation of hundreds of children to gather "research data."

"Kinsey and the Kinsey Institute should be held accountable for the massive fraud they've perpetrated on the United States and the world," said Mathew Staver, attorney and founder of Liberty Counsel...

How a Kinsey victim lives with molestation trauma
'Esther White' interview exposes 'evil' scientific research: Part 2

Editor's note: Yesterday, WND published the first part of an exclusive interview with "Esther White" (a pseudonym). In it, she described the sexual molestation she suffered at the hands of her father and grandfather during the course of the famed Kinsey sex research, and revealed that Kinsey and his colleagues were aware that she was being abused, and indeed witnessed her father being paid by Kinsey. The balance of the interview explores how the molestation affected White throughout her life, her stunning spiritual conversion and why she came forward to speak out about Kinsey.

WND: How has being abused affected you emotionally?

EW: I think what's bothered me most in my life is that they used me. I was an experiment. They used me as an experiment. I don't want to be used by anyone. It's dehumanizing...

Alfred Kinsey's Studies - Perversity and Degeneracy in the Name of "Science"

Victim of notorious sex experiments speaks out
'Esther White' interview exposes 'evil' scientific research: Part 1

Editor's note: The following report is part of WND's ongoing, multipart investigation into alleged crimes committed by sex-research pioneer Alfred Kinsey and his Kinsey Institute.

WASHINGTON – On Oct. 1, the federal government made a high-profile apology for experiments conducted in Guatemala between 1946 and 1948. Without their knowledge or permission, nearly 700 people were inoculated with syphilis and gonorrhea for the purpose of scientific research. Eventually the subjects were treated with penicillin.

During the same time period, however, far more horrendous experiments were being carried out – including the sexual molestation of hundreds of infants and children down to 2 months of age – not in a far-off Central American country, but at the state and federally funded Indiana University. The researchers never treated the victims of this research, and nobody has issued an apology.

Biologist Alfred Kinsey's research on human sexual behavior is now celebrated as pioneering science, and Kinsey has become known as the father of the sexual revolution. He and the institute named for him are widely acclaimed by news media and in the academic community. Kinsey's work continues to have a profound impact on American law and culture to this day.

Kinsey's research is highly controversial for being based disproportionately on hundreds of interviews with prisoners, sex offenders and prostitutes. Kinsey and his colleagues falsely classified thesepeople as normal World War II-era citizens, leaving the validity of his findings open to question. But the most infamous – indeed, criminal – aspect of Kinsey's research involved what is first revealed in black and white in Tables 30 to 34 of his landmark 1948 book, "Sexual Behavior in the Human Male."

These tables record how long it took for children to achieve "orgasm" and how many "orgasms" they were able to achieve over a period of minutes or hours. Hundreds of innocent boys suffered at the hands of pedophiles to compile this data.

Kinsey produced a second book in 1953, "Sexual Behavior in the Human Female." To gather data for the book, Kinsey and his researchers allowed innocent girls to be abused by pedophiles. Now one of these victims, "Esther White" (a pseudonym), is telling her story.

Over the years, the Kinsey Institute has consistently denied that Kinsey recruited pedophiles to conduct his research or knew about any ongoing abuse of children. Esther White has stepped forward to tell us that's not the way it was...

Stunner! Kinsey paid my father to rape me
Subject of 1940s 'research' goes public with horrific details of abuse by dad

Editor's note: The following report is part of WND's ongoing, multipart investigation into alleged crimes committed by sex-research pioneer Alfred Kinsey and his Kinsey Institute.

WASHINGTON – A victim of sexologist Alfred Kinsey's "research" during the 1940s is coming forward with the stunning claim that her father was paid by Kinsey, universally regarded as the "father of the sexual revolution," to rape her and then report to him on the attacks.

Nearly 70 years after being molested repeatedly by her own father, "Esther White" (a pseudonym) is speaking out in hope of prompting Congress to investigate the controversial research. White said she would be willing to testify in person on Capitol Hill if an investigation results in opening the Kinsey Institute files to public scrutiny...

Horrific medical tests of past raise concerns for today
As more research moves outside U.S., are we still exploiting the poor?

The astounding revelation that U.S. medical researchers intentionally gave Guatemalans gonorrhea and syphilis more than 60 years ago is so horrifying that we want to believe that what happened then could never happen today. We want to believe that doctors are treating the poor, vulnerable and those outside the U.S. with more care and respect.

But are they? Have we really learned what we should have from the travesty of past medical experiments?

In recent years, there has been a steady shift of clinical research from testing in the U.S. and other developed nations to the developing world. A report from the United States Department of Health and Human Services noted that roughly 80 percent of drug approvals in 2008 were based in part on data from outside the U.S. Eight percent of drugs approved for use in the U.S. were only tested using subjects in foreign nations.

As more testing is outsourced to other nations, there is a very real moral worry that we are still exploiting the poor to serve as guinea pigs so we can improve our medical care.

As we keep learning, it has happened too many times in the past...
