Horrific Medical Tests of Past Raise Concerns For Today

The Astounding revelation That U.S. Medical Researchers intentionally Gave Guatemalans gonorrhea and syphilis more than just 60 years ago is so horrifying That we Want To Believe That What happened then Could never happen today. We Want To Believe That are Doctors Treating the Poor, Vulnerable and Those outside the U.S. with more care and Respect.

But are they? Have we really what we Learned Should Have from the travesty of past medical experiments?

In Recent years, there has Been a steady shift of Clinical Research from the testing in the U.S. and Other Developed Nations to the Developing World. A report from the United States Department of Health and Human Services noted That roughly 80 Percent of Drug Approvals in 2008 were based in part is the data from outside the U.S. Eight Percent of Drugs Approved for use in the U.S. Tested were only using subjects in foreign nations.

As more testing is outsourced Thurs Other nations, there is a very real moral worry That we are still exploiting the poor To Serve as guinea pigs so We Can Improve Our medical care.

As we keep learning, as it has Happened too many times in the past.

Susan Reverby, a distinguished history at Wellesley College in Massachusetts, has spent her career shedding light on past horrors. She has long researched the Tuskegee Syphilis Study inFamous, the experiment Somewhere poor, black men in rural Alabama were deliberately left untreated for syphilis by government Researchers Eager To Learn about the disease's Effects. The study, somehow, was allowed to Run from 1932 Thurs 1972.
