If so, I can't say their process comes across as terribly scientific, dubious motivations aside.
And if one is the sort to care for ethics, there's ways to accomplish much the same thing. Surely a few altruistic souls would volunteer to be infected, that various treatments might be tested, the progression observed in controlled surroundings. 'Tis not as though infection is a death sentence, for all that curing is apparently unpleasant.
Well, even if this group believes in the justness of their madness, they wouldn't be the first to have their convictions founded more in sadism than science. Cruelty under a veneer of research, perhaps. A fine pretense that what they do is for the good of us all, and what are a few sacrifices along the way...?
[Which is a line of thinking uncomfortably familiar. Not that he'd ever taken pleasure in the mortal lives he'd ended, at least.]
If the lost cases deposited back onto the streets are their doing, I can't say I have much faith that they're discovering any more than what's already known.
