I’m sorry but I’ve heard this answer too many times it just seems like an excuse and an evasion of the question.
Like Timonthy said it would be very hard to make someone disappear once they become public with a real power.
But why do you think they would be killed and dissected? We could learn everything that we need to know with modern medical test. We would learn a lot more if the person was alive, helping us understand what they do, how they think, and how they make their power work. And when the person dies of natural causes why would it be bad to donate their body to science?
Let’s take an example that’s improbable but can happen. Let’s say that I find out tomorrow that my blood is the cure for cancer (I know that it’s not a power but it’s like it) and all it takes is 10ml or 2 teaspoons. And let’s say that it can’t be replicated, it’s not something in my blood, the cure is my blood. I say this with all sincerity; I would willingly spend the rest of my life (and it would be long, I’m 26 and remember I wouldn’t be able to get cancer) in a lab having my blood drawn, like a guinea pig, knowing that my blood would be saving millions.
I would gladly give my life to save millions, and I guess that’s why I find this excuse so lacking.
But it doesn't need to be that extreme. Even if the power is small, if it helps people, its worth some sacrifice. At lest thats my belief
I thought that way too when I was naive.
The research system in place is creepy to say the least when it comes to more unusual genetic cases.
In the first case the subjects are quietly taken for research, much like the more well known remote viewer experiments, they are subjected to MRIs, drugs, genetic alterations, etc to attempt to better understand the effects without a real concern for the adverse reactions of the subjects long term.
Similar subjects are put in control groups, some getting drugs to see what might harm, some helpful, and some the placebo group. Even if you are doing fine you may get harmed by the testing depending on what control group you're in, they don't tell you.
Basically, they only want to discover how you work for their agenda. Whether its good for cures or bad for biological weapon research, only they know. Once you sign up you agree to any and all tests and treatments until the case study is done, which is months, years to all of your life.
When they find something really genetically different,the DNA goes to Utah (military research) and to various foreign research labs and even compared to all the ancestry data bases. They start tracking your relatives down to be subjects to see if they have the same anomoloy or DNA makeup. They even trick some of them into lab work. If they are the hospital for some other reason, DNA testing is done by someone they thought was from the hospital's lab but wasn't. Although they did get a permission slip signed when the lab person came, it showed it was a DNA research agency not affilated with the hospital. That tells me even kin are under some kind of watch to for them to know they are in the hospital! Ancestry DNA becomes classified on the geneology research sites to protect an "ethnic ancestry group" from subposedly possible ill willed genocide of a foreign power! Being sceptical I would think it's more likely protecting a discovery they made in their research.
Second case, you mentioned already happens in leukemias,HIV. etc immunities, and some genetic anomolies. NIH and the like are good to you in general when you become a subject with the offer of free medical treatments or observation and even give some cash for expenses. Public might get to read some of the research papers later but they still don't get all the subjects' stories and the effect on their lives when they were put in the wrong control group.
Don't kid yourself that people haven't volunteered! It's a double edged sword even to some people who didn't volunteer knowingly.
