Test Subjects

* See also Jack ( Created by Suchong for Fontaine )
* See also Fontaine_Futuristics_(game_level) ( Where we see Fontaine's Secret Lab)

==Test Subjects used for Experiments==
--- --- --- --- ---
We actually HEAR an Audio Diary of Jack's WYK Conditioning being tested by Suchong. 
Medical Testing eventually requires Human Testing ( after bulk of work done on animals )
Medical ADAM Testing had to have been done to create things like the First Aid Kits and the Therapies we see advertised ( like "Phossy Jaw" Cure which is for Phosphorus Poisoning )
* The impression Players might get is PLASMID warpage, but long before that it would be for medical therapies.
Plasmid Testing with its more complex/severe changes would be the most destructive to the test subject. ( Fontaine likely cut more corners ) The Combat Plasmids first developed by Fontaine would have the greatest and most dangerous changes.
Early days of 'testing' of ADAM by Fontaine is elaborated upon in the Novel. Fairly horrendous scenes there.
Human Testing IS still done TODAY ( How many Players Know That ?? ). It is done after other tests first clear much of the more negative parts of development. Look at the lists of sideeffects todays medicine advertisements mention and those indicate what the 'test subjects' go thru TODAY. (( Sorry, no. It is not under just Objectivism which such things are done. ))
What kind of Testing (AND FAILURES) for Little Sisters were carried out by Tenenbaum and Suchong and Sofia Lamb ??? Remember they have an ADAM Sea Slug embedded in their bodies. That was done under Fontaine for sure. How many 'test subjects' succumbed to that work ?

Consider all the new 'normal' products created in Rapture (ex- foodstuffs)
THOSE would have to be Tested by 'test subjects' also ?
Vita-Chamber ?? It had to be Tested as well ?
How exactly do you Test a 'come back from death' mechanism ?

==Test Subjects in Columbia==
The Gorilla ... Strange Idea - As procuring and using gorillas would be far more expensive than using immigrants for such 'test subjects'.
ADAM is supposedly produced in Columbia. That production would have had to have its process worked out also, as well as all the required Vigor testing.

Consider : We don't know what was inside of "Songbird" 
Or how THAT Abomination was developed. 
--- --- ---
Was that process previously developed using others as the 'test subjects' ?
Lots of 'Cattle' (as Fink says) available for such.

Experimental Subjects Are Expendable :
How many "Jacks" did Fontaine have Suchong go through until success was achieved ??? ( It was not an easy or simple task, and they probably went through dozens of 'specimens' ). Possibly, the experiments where extensively done on OTHER (non-Ryan) embryos, while perfecting the 'Ace in The Hole' (A-Hole) Process ( ?? Useful maybe too, as a possible source of New pre-Big Daddy Maintenance Cyborg Candidates ??? ) The "Failures" probably wound up in Rapture's Hotdog/Sausage supply ( Waste not, Want not ... )
Human Cloning was possibly done to create the Project's required experimental 'specimens'. That could have been an obvious source for Pre-Little-Sister Slug-symbionts. ( Unless Accelerated growth was otherwise too costly ... AND Then why not clone Ryan himself ?? )
Consider : 'Jack' may NOT really have been Ryan's actual (biological) 'son', and was only a plastic-surgery-modified face with a transplantation of cloned 'genetic' Ryan-tissue to activate the security locks ( *IF* THAT GENETIC KEY STUFF WAS EVEN VIABLE (explained elsewhere) )
Perhaps Suchong, facing failure and Fontaine's displeasure, pulled off that swap -- Using some modified/wiped/brainwashed/trained stooge for Jack (YOU) delivered to the surface. (( SEE : Better Plot 'Twists' really aren't that hard ))
--- --- ---
A Dangerous Activity :
The Novel has Suchong see the insane violence of ADAM modified experiment subjects. So would he get into this situation ? Oh and remember Suchong KNEW ALOT about Fontaine (and Atlas) - Too much perhaps to be allowed to live. So this could just as well could be Suchong 'Faking his own Death' ( some unfortunate handy body ... for the authorities to find - and for Sullivan to make some comment about ).
