This
discussion board deals withthe syphilis study that was done on men for
40 years in Alabama, feel free to throw in your thoughts on this issue.
This is a chronicle of appalling cruelty that turned people into
subjects for the sake of science. Briefly the men in the study were
told they had Obad blood O- but the Otreatment they received was only
aspirin and iron tonic. The Public Health Service worked with local
doctors to ensure that no antibiotics or other treatments would be given
that might alter the progression of the disease. The first mention
of the infamous syphilis experiment usually raises the question of how
could this have gone on for so long without being exposed? There was no
cover up; the experiment was regularly reported in medical journals and
at medical conferences. It involved not only the Public Health Service
but also the Tuskegee Institute, the Veterans Hospital in Tuskegee, and
both white and black doctors in Macon county. Over the years, the
study became a training ground for young physicians. Your thoughts this
week on this horrific study and the book in general. Can this ever
happen again and has it happened with our military personnel in the
past?
