The Significance Of The Tuskegee Study
Thesis
The experiment proposed by the U.S. Public Health service to study untreated syphilis in poor African American men in the community of Macon County, Alabama, a disease affecting most of its inhabitants. The ethical aspects of clinical research carried out in humans have differentiating characteristics, from the ethical conditions of the rest of scientific research. The protection of human life and health are the most relevant values and require greater protection, in which experiments have been conducted that have caused pain and unnecessary suffering for many humans. The Tuskegee experiment raises a reflection on the relationship between science, ethics and society.

What is striking is that the regulation of the DHEW was in force during the last years of the study of Tuskegee, but it had to be a journalist who took the subject to the light, and the experiment was not immediately suspended, but only when they finished the deliberations of This group.
