The Tuskegee Study: An Ethical Experiment

387 Words2 Pages
The Tuskegee study was an unethical experiment preformed on over 400 African American men with syphilis. The trials led to the remaining living participants to win due to unlawful study. It also led to the death of over 300 participants and children contracting syphilis as well. Today, being 2017, we have came a long way with race and medical research. Not only have we developed as a society and country, but we 've produced laws since then to protect those involved in studies. I would hope we wouldn’t conduct such a repulsing study based around race and Social Darwinism. The Tuskegee case was clearly unethical. The researchers didn’t provide the infected men with the correct care, while being completely aware and capable in treating them.
