There might already be boards about this, but I haven't ever seen one, so I'm sorry if this is a repeat.
Something to look at...Between 1932-1972, 400 black men with syphilis (part of the report says that 201 of them did not have syphilis and were used as a control group) in Alabama were used for a study. These men were not treated for their disease, but were told they were being treated, while the United States Public Health Service kept an eye on them to see what all the stages of the disease looked like. While this was going on, the men passed the disease on to their wives and their children contracted it through birth.
This study went on for 40 years.
What do you guys think about it?
My global teacher also teaches PIG and had her class research this study. She said some of her students thought it was justified, because without letting cases go untreated, we wouldn't know how the disease can affect humans.
Personally, I think what our government did is wrong. You can't justify the fact that the U.S. government used 400 black men as guinea pigs.
