Fernald School ist eine Heimsonderschule in Waltham, Massachusetts, USA. Neben Berichten über körperlichen und sexuellen Missbrauch wurde die Fernald School vor allem durch Experimente mit leicht radioaktiven Substanzen an Schülern bekannt. 1953 wurde vom Direktor der Institution ein Brief an die Eltern der Kinder gesandt, in dem er auf eine wissenschaftliche Untersuchung aufmerksam machte, die an seiner Schule stattfand. In diesem Schriftstück ging es darum, den Kindern ab und zu Blut abzunehmen und ihnen eine extra Portion Calcium in die Cornflakes zu geben. Die Kinder sollten davon auch profitieren: Ausflüge an den Strand, zum Baseball etc. Dies bewog die Eltern schließlich dazu, der Bitte des Direktors zuzustimmen. Was sie jedoch nicht wussten, war, dass das Calcium radioaktiv war. Zynischerweise wurden diese Kinder intern dem „Wissenschaftsclub“ zugeordnet. Nur waren sie selbst nicht die Forscher, sondern die „Versuchskaninchen“. (de) The Walter E. Fernald State School, later the Walter E. Fernald Developmental Center, was the Western hemisphere's oldest publicly funded institution serving people with developmental disabilities. Originally a Victorian sanatorium, it became a "poster child" for the American eugenics movement during the 1920s. It later was the scene of medical experiments in the 20th century. Investigations into this research led to new regulations regarding human research in children. The school occupies a 186 acres (75 ha) property off Trapelo Road in Waltham, Massachusetts. (en) |
