Government doctors, part of a mental hospital in Mahatma Gandhi Medical College in Indore, Madhya Pradesh India, performed drug trials on mentally ill patients.

The drug trials of Dapoxentine, a premature ejaculation treatment drug, were tested on 233 mentally ill subjects. The trials were held from January 2008 to October 2010 to test the effectiveness of the drug treating premature ejaculation in males.

The government doctors claim to have gotten consent and permission from the government and the subject’s guardian as well.

The mentally ill patients were not in the correct state to understand what was being done to them. Do you think this was morally correct?
