NASA is experimenting corpses

American newspaper Chronicle Library of Houston reported that the National Agency for the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the companies that work with them on contract, used in the experiments the body and organs of dead people.

Publication of this information Agency officials said. According to them, the three bodies were used at Ohio State University in the summer and autumn of last year during a test landing systems Orion new space. Their main objective of the tests carried out by security experts NASA, was to examine the possible consequences of failure for astronauts' Earth landing spacecraft.

The bodies were studied before and after the experiments, which allowed to calculate the possible negative impact of structural variants of the lander to the extremities, spine and spinal cord. Determine the extent of damage to the internal organs with dummies used in crash tests, in practice it is almost impossible. "These tests help NASA better understand the damage that can be received by astronauts during landing, - says the engineer Dustin Gomert. Spaceship is a much more complex device than any car, including the racing car. Through these tests, we hope to develop the most comfortable chairs and space suits."

NASA health worker David Shtayts says that during the test had been met all accepted ethical standards for the use of bodies of deceased persons scientific purposes. "From a social point of view it is a very uncomfortable topic - recognizes the specialist. But we follow all ethical and medical procedures, as were bequeathed to the body of scientific research."
