Part 3 of examining Tuskegee was mainly about the ethics involving the study and the medical profession surrounding the study. We discussed how the study effected society from a race standpoint and how this impacted todays society. Additionally, we discussed other topics such as infecting elderly with cancer cells and injecting hiv to autistic patients and compared it to the Tuskegee study. Although what the medical professionals lacked was the fact that they did not disclose any information to the patients receiving the syphallis disease. Also, the patients lacked the knowledge of a possible cure and when medical personnel were asked if there was a cure their answer was "They had no cure available." This had underlying effects, because the physicians were no longer held accountable for their actions. From a societal standpoint, this left many problems that continue in todays society, even though we have made some sort of progression with race issues in the United States. One of the huge issues in this is that it was genocidal and linked to just one race. Another big issue was that they had a small source of worth to begin with at this time so it is hard to pinpoint why the physicians would narrow it down to one race as a test subject with a lack of a cure. Following this class and discussing all of the problems that this study had caused, I felt a sort of confusion still as to why the professionals had this much room and leeway in the study based on an ethical perspective. Could this study happen today? I am uncertain and that is saddening that such a study could partake in this way. Although if a study took place like this in todays society, it would definitely have to be more structured, and in an intertwined race group; with a cure and a letter of consent with detailed explanations of the study. I enjoyed learning in depth about Tuskegee although it was very disheartening.
