Analysis and Application

Medical Experimentation: Another Tuskegee Study or Beneficial Research

Recent research has discovered that while HIV infection is relatively high in prison, the majority of those infected arrive at the prison with the disease. With a five times higher infection rate within prisons when compared with the general population and similarly high rates with Hepatitis C, many suggest allowing for controlled experimentation on inmates to test drugs to combat these two infections. Do you agree with Dr. Albert M. Kligman that prisoners should be again involved in medical trials?

Develop a position paper addressing both sides of the issue. Provide a historical overview of the significant benefits and detriments involving medical testing of prisoners. Include examples to support your position.

Topic 1: Transmission of Sexually Transmitted Diseases in Prisons

What efforts have taken place to reduce the incidence of sexually transmitted diseases in prisons? Why has so little attention been paid to sexually transmitted diseases? Should the state be liable for failing to protect inmates while in control of the state? Why or why not? Should an inmate be able to file suit against the state if the inmate contracts a sexually transmitted disease in prison? Should prisons issue condoms in an effort to reduce the incidence of sexually transmitted diseases? What prevention programs are being implemented to address this issue? Explain your answers.

Topic 2: Weekly Research Discussion
