You do understand the Geneva Convention prohibits using prisoners for scientific experiments?
No offense, doc, but had the Wraith attended the Geneva Convention, they would have tried to feed on everyone there.

S1 E15Unfinished Business
[ "Steve" the Wraith is on the jumper on his way to Hoff. He is smiling.]
LFLt. Ford
[to Steve] Hey man, this isn't supposed to be fun.
"Victory at all costs." That sound familiar, Major?
Churchill.
Aye. Never thought I'd disagree.
You know, if people could just learn to keep their secret underground bunkers locked…
Look, what you people do with your C4 is none of our business. We just need food. As far as your little secret down here goes…well, uh…
We say, "What giant underground bunker?"
You do realise that long term exposure to these levels of radiation is extremely dangerous?
CCowen
Our scientists tell me otherwise.
Well, they're wrong.
[nervously] Are we in danger now?
Oh, it would take days or weeks at these levels of radiation -- but I assume the Genii spend days or weeks down here?
CCowen
Many of our people have spent their entire lives here.
Their entire short lives. [To John] We'll be fine - just as long as you weren't planning on having children.
You can build an A-bomb?
Major, most of my highschool chess team could design an A-bomb.
I built an atomic bomb for my grade six Science Fair exhibit.
LFLt. Ford
They let you do that up in Canada?
Yeah, then I was questioned by the CIA for six hours.
But we have something they need and they have something we need, and I thought that's what negotiating was all about.
Oh, well, it is. Personally, I stop short of offering nuclear weapons.
LFLt. Ford
They were building 'em anyways.
Oh, well if they were building them anyway, why didn't you just say so. You do realise that I originally sent you out for food?
I think we can still get that.
LFLt Ford
I don't see why not.
LFLt. Ford
I've never seen so much nothing.
And I've never walked so far to see it.
How much power are we talking about here?
In terms of joules or ergs?
In terms of lots.
Well, lots and lots. Enough to dial back to Earth.
[Sheppard has figured out that his welcome-home party is just a figment of his imagination]
You guys have been dead for years. Now, don't get me wrong, it's really nice seeing you. [points to a middle-aged woman] You too, Miss Watson.
LFLt. Ford
Sir—
[to Ford] She was my sixth grade teacher. [points to a young blonde] And I don't even remember your name, but I remember you wouldn't even date me!
It's like looking through a microscope at a cell culture and seeing a thousand dancing hamsters. It's impossible!
Rodney, you need to calm down.
No, no, what I need to do now is get very agitated because what I'm realizing is all this is a lie!
So none of this is real? [Truth dawns] The cute brunette, of course! I should have known! How do you go from, "You're a pig, but I like your cat," to "I missed you"?
The dead people were a dead giveaway.
Dead people? What were you doing?!
