Uses and Abuses of Tuskegee
Article Abstract:
A long-term study of the effects of syphilis in Tuskegee, Alabama was marred by social injustice as researchers misled and refused to treat hundreds of African American men suffering from the disease so they could continue to observe the effects on the human body. The severity of this injustice had led to the setting of ethical standards in medical research.
