Aliens' "Office of Human Subjects Research" Lacking in Ethical Rigor

...or maybe they just have the same degree of power as the United Nations here on Earth?  They can pass as many resolutions as they want, but nobody really has to listen if they don't want to...?

I say this because these links immediately brought to mind what I had introduced to you all as the "new school" of Ufology, which goes by the name of Exopolitics.  Exopolitics presumes to be the study of the political dimensions of an extraterrestrial presence on our planet.  It seeks first of all to answer the question, "Who are the significant actors/what are the significant organizations?" involved on both sides of whatever interactions have occurred or are occurring between humans and ETs--be they military, diplomatic, technological, or otherwise in nature.  Why are we placing weapons in space, and is it wise to do so?  Have any intergalactic "treaties" been signed by any official bodies?  Has technology been exchanged?  Who is representing the earth and in what manner?  When did this begin?  Are there multiple ET civilizations visiting our atmosphere or our planet, and what are their relationships to one another?  What are their intentions?

Exopolitics goes further than this, however.  It also attempts to theorize about how these interactions should be taking place and what the rules should be for all participators.  In a sense, it attempts to theorize an Intergalactic Declaration of (Non-)Human Rights.  And one of the reasons given for the importance of Exopolitics in this regard is the unethical treatment of humans by ETs demonstrated in the abduction phenomenon.  I kid you not:  there have been attempts to get legislation before congress that would acknowledge the fact of alien abduction, provide support and compensation to its victims, and provide for the prosecution of any government official who either knows of OR allowed for the phenomenon to take place (as with a treaty or unofficial endorsement of the practice).

One of Ufology's richest pieces of folklore centers around a 1954 meeting between delegates of at least one ET race and President Eisenhower.  Legend has it that just such a treaty was signed at this meeting, one that allowed for a limited number of non-intrusive medical evaluations to be performed on temporarily abducted human beings in exchange for advanced technological knowledge from the ETs.  The story goes that this "treaty" stood for a few years, but that the ETs eventually began exceeding the number of abductions and scope of "research" they'd signed up for, and there was literally nothing we could do about it.  One of Exopolitics' goals is to rein in this abusive and unethical extraterrestrial research project.
