But, what else were they to do? To me, it sounds like a quintessential no win scenario. If they just did nothing, and just allowed the children to die of AIDS, then they are cold heartless bastards who just stood by and watched as children died. "Couldn't they have at least tried to do something?" But, actually do try to do something that may help, or not (who knows), and you are labeled as a succesors of the Angel of Death of Auschwitz.
Now, had they knowingly, and intentionaly, infected the kids with HIV, in order to conduct experiments...then I'd howl like a banshee. As it is, all I can do is look upon it as a huge shit sandwich.

Yes, this seems to be my opinions as well. It seems that if anyone seems to be doing anything even a little controversial with the term experiment in it, people are quick to compare them to Nazi's these days...
