In this unit, we read about two very famous cases of unethical medical experimentation, the
Tuskegee Study and the research conducted by Dr. Ewen Cameron. Choose ONE of these two
examples. Give a brief description of the case and indicate what ethical issues the case reveals.
The Tuskegee study was an experiment examining African American men who were diagnosed
with syphilis, the study ran the course of 40 years. For the most part, the men were poor and
uneducated, they became part of the trial for treatment of bad blood. It is assumed that the
men agreed to participate with the promise of free medical care and meals during the visits.
During the trial, the researchers discovered that penicillin cures syphilis, however they did not
tell the participants. They also neglected to tell them that syphilis is a spreadable disease.
The US Public Health Servants, who conducted the study, should have advised the men about
this new evidence, but they neglected to do so. Because of this trial, the FDA reassessed its
ethical code for conducting clinical trials. This trial helped reveal the need for Ethical Review
