The men with syphilis used in the study weren’t aware of what these physicians were experimenting. Q 1. Answer to Question 1: This study took many different turns over the course of that time period. What kind of criticisms can you offer of this study? 5. That is, what kind of argument can be made for the benefi ts of I feel that is very unethical and it goes against human rights. The native Africans were only used to collect data of the disease. Using the Tuskegee Syphilis Research Study on page 268 of chapter 11, answer the following questions: 1. The study initially involved 600 black male volunteers –399 with syphilis, 201 who did not For the love and sake of criticism, one can logically assert that, the researchers of the “Bad Blood” study overreached and subverted the goals of improving the health status and care for rural African Americans to an inhuman experiment. Projects like this cannot be conducted today. A project like this wouldn’t be able to happen now. It is almost unfathomable that these men of science carried on this ridiculous sham for 40 years. They were treated as just testing subjects, which deserved no help or treatment, and if they were given treatment it was only to see how well it would work on patients. The experiment is mainly targeting on collect the data and develop discrimination towards African American rather than helping the people. Many realized what was being done to this patients who were dying becomes treatment had been delayed for years. Carefully analyze this case. It sounds like that native Africans are treated as test subjects rather than receiving free treatments. The people living in Macon County were dirt poor. The researchers failed in their duty to recognize the proximal harm which was being done on spouses and children in terms of the spread of venereal diseases. The Macon county physicians and nurse Rivers were committed to treatment of the patients but as the research and data collection was underway they tried to treat the patients with whatever knowledge and data they had (at that time) about the patients. Every efforts to make them stop the study was futile even though it was “bad science”. Yes most definitely, this project can easily be done today because we have better technology to acquire distal data and proximal information to compare it with up to data, however for the project to be valid we need to retrain health professionals in health ethics and other social skills. No life should be taken for granted no matter the race or skin color. No because it is a project of just collecting data of the disease. Although, the disease could be diagnosed and the victims could be saved, they were left unaware of the fact that they were just used to gather datas which could give information about the disease in its’ various stages. Th at is, what kind of argument can be made for the benefi ts of I think many factors came into play of why this study ended. It is immoral in a sense that people are used as an experimental group in order to do a research. In the head of a cynical, conspiracy theorist such as my-self, it is entirely possible that many such experiments though not revealed or as infamous have been conducted in the past and continues on today. subject? The study was initially generated in order to control venereal diseases which could help save a lot of lives. The men that participated in the study were viewed as experimental subjects that did not need treatment. Participants should have adequate information about the study, understand the information, and are able to consent to or decline participation voluntarily. Moreover, people intelligence’s of understanding the risk of something, not calling people back them stupid or anything, I mean as time passes people have evolved hey way of seem things.
