Beaumont's study, A hole in one

Frankenscience at work, after an outdoorsman is shot, he heals leaving a hole into his stomach, called a fistula, the good dr. uses guilt and manipulation to keep his patient compliant as for the first time he inserts pieces of meat through the hole direct into the poor mans stomach, making detailed notes on how the food breaks down, learning about enzymes and other digestive processes. You see a long standing evolutionary question has been what are humans, preditor, or prey. We are not carnivores, we lack the proper dentition, and our digestive track is to long, meat would normally putrify, before it's expelled poisoning us, our eyes our both facing forward with binocular vision which is predatory, but agian our dentition is designed for a variety of foods. This doctor now has a window seat into digestion, these tortures continue for over ten years, until the patient flees for Canada, after being dragged back once, our good doctor took steps to make sure his patient couldn't flee again so he had him join up for the military so that if he fled again it would be treason, if he fled again he could be put to death.. The good dr published his book becoming the father of GI science, while st. Martins, our patient used the death of his child to flee once again for Canada. Where his family made sure after his death let his body decompose before burial so it would never be used for scientific reasons agian. The worst part of this says nothing of the sacrifice of the patient, or how this lead to new patient rights, but the fact that in the program I was watching this story on, based on real events, a scientist speaking on the show states, having tried unsuccessfully to close the fistula, it would have been practically unethical not to use this opportunity for research. Working in research myself I've found when dealing with others, thier aggrement in the experiment is necessary for good data, and realisticly we can never know how hard the good Dr. tried to close the hole, as even then he saw a window into digestion. As a point of reference it is not uncommon to create these fistulas in cows today so that farmers can take stomach samples of the food to determine what thier digesting to better formulate the cattles feed. I guess if it's not wrong to look inside a hole in a human why would it be an issue to install a porthole into a cows stomach, what a world.
