Congratulations on reaching the 75% completion point in this course! We will spend this forum talking a little bit about what is next for your degree as well as a case study about the the Tuskegee Syphilis Project. The ethics of human experimentation are explored in this infamous case. In studies performed at the Tuskegee Institute from the 1930s to the 1960s and sponsored by the U.S. Public Health Service, 399 African American men with syphilis were recruited for a research study on the progression of the disease when left untreated. The case examines the science underlying the experiment as well as the ethical and racial issues.
