The Tuskegee Experiment - America's shame


[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]


"the racist Tuskegee syphilis experiment, in which government-appointed doctors studied the progression of the disease in about 400 black men without the men's informed consent and then withheld treatment while the men went blind or insane -- with some unknowingly passing the disease on to their loved ones. The experiment began in 1932 and continued through 1972.

The men who were victimized by the experiment have since died, but National Archives photos that offer a glimpse of their story are still with us:"

Stinks of crimes against humanity . Disgraceful.
