To kill them they would either put them through so much pain their bodies could not take it anymore or they would shoot them. They have painful ways to get the infections into the test subjects body.

When they would cut these people they would not get them any anesthetics. These people would get such bad infections, from not keeping the wound clean, that some would lose their
