Eighty Years of Bad Blood: The Evolution of Human Research after the Tuskegee Study
No full textThe year 2012 marks the eightieth anniversary of the beginning of the U.S. Public Health
Service’s (PHS) study on the effects of untreated syphilis in Tuskegee, AL, which lasted from
1932 to 1972. The research continued after penicillin became widely available and was
known to be an effective treatment for syphilis. To justify the experiments, the PHS argued
that the study was a never-to-be-repeated opportunity. Did the U.S. government continue to
take advantage of never-to-be-repeated opportunities in medical research by using unethical
justifications? This manuscript will explore how America’s growing understanding of human
research and the rights of human subjects have mirrored the growth of regulatory law and
jurisprudence since the Tuskegee Study. We will examine PHS human research experiments
in Guatemala from 1946 to 1948, as well as the U.S. Department of Justice’s decision not
to prosecute members of the Japanese Army despite having received information on human
experiments they conducted on World War II Prisoners of War (POWs). We recognize that
numerous events have contributed to current human research practices and it would be
impossible to discuss every significant topic. We submit that society’s ethical considerations
regarding human research have progressed over the past eighty years. In this article we
concentrate on the growing protections of the right to informed consent. We contend that constant and consistent oversight by the three branches of U.S. government is necessary to
ensure human rights protection of those classes least able to protect themselves and prevent
