The Tuskegee Syphilis Study : the real story and beyond / by Gray, Fred D.,1930-(CARDINAL)209298; Tuskegee Institute.(CARDINAL)151432;
Includes bibliographical references (page 171) and index.Beginning in 1932, health agencies of the U.S, government began a shocking medical experiment on several hundred peer, uneducated African-American men from the rural areas near Tuskegee, Alabama. These men were told they had "bad blood" and were promised free medical treatment. In fact, they had syphilis, and they were deliberately left untreated so doctors could study the long-term progressive symptoms of the disease. For forty years, this experiment continued. Its subjects did not know how they were beingused, the community did not know, and the public did not know in 1972. the experiment came to light, and civil rights attorney Fred Gray filed a massive, ultimately, successful, class action lawsuit against the government.

Examining Tuskegee : the infamous syphilis study and its legacy / by Reverby, Susan M.,1946-(CARDINAL)141582;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction : race, medical uncertainty, and American culture -- Historical contingencies : Tuskegee Institute, the Public Health Service, and syphilis -- Planned, plotted, & official : the study begins -- Almost undone : the study continues -- What makes it stop? -- Testimony : the public story in the 1970s -- What happened to the men & their families? -- Why & wherefore : the Public Health Service doctors -- Triage & "powerful sympathizing" : Eugene H. Dibble, Jr -- The best care : Eunice Verdell Rivers Laurie -- Bioethics, history, & the study as gospel -- The court of imagination -- The political spectacle of blame & apology -- Epilogue : the difficulties of treating racism with "Tuskegee".The forty year "Tuskegee" Syphilis Study has become the American metaphor for medical racism, government malfeasance, and physician arrogance. The subject of histories, films, rumors, and political slogans, it received an official federal apology from President Bill Clinton in a White House ceremony. The author offers an analysis of the notorious study of untreated syphilis, which took place in and around Tuskegee, Alabama, from the 1930s through the 1970s. The study involved hundreds of African American men, most of whom were told by doctors from the U.S. Public Health Service that they were being treated, not just watched, for their late stage syphilis. She examines the study and its aftermath from multiple perspectives to explain what happened and why the study has such power in our collective memory. She follows the study's repercussions in facts and fictions. She highlights the many uncertainties that dogged the study during its four decades and explores the newly available medical records. She uncovers the different ways it was understood by the men, their families, and health care professionals, ultimately revising conventional wisdom on the study. This work illuminates the events and aftermath of the study and sheds light on the complex knot of trust, betrayal, and belief that keeps this study alive in our cultural and political lives.

The occasional human sacrifice : medical experimentation and the price of saying no / by Elliott, Carl,1961-author.(CARDINAL)392229;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 323-339) and index.Introduction -- The honor code -- Tuskegee -- Willowbrook -- The hutch -- Cincinnati -- The unfortunate experiment -- The Karolinska -- Conclusion."Shocking cases of abusive medical research and the whistleblowers who spoke out against them, sometimes at the expense of their careers. The Occasional Human Sacrifice is an intellectual inquiry into the moral struggle that whistleblowers face, and why it is not the kind of struggle that most people imagine. Carl Elliott is a bioethicist at the University of Minnesota who was trained in medicine as well as philosophy. For many years he fought for an external inquiry into a psychiatric research study at his own university in which an especially vulnerable patient lost his life. Elliott's efforts alienated friends and colleagues. The university stonewalled him and denied wrongdoing until a state investigation finally vindicated his claims. His experience frames the six stories in this book of medical research in which patients were deceived into participating in experimental programs they did not understand, many of which had astonishing and well-concealed mortality rates. Beginning with the public health worker who exposed the Tuskegee Syphilis Study and ending with the four physicians who in 2016 blew the whistle on lethal synthetic trachea transplants at the Karolinska Institute, Elliott tells the extraordinary stories of insiders who spoke out against such abuses, and often paid a terrible price for doing the right thing."--

Starring: Dr. Lisa Martino-Taylor, Fannie Lou Hamer, Dick Gregory, James Baldwin, Eileen Welsome, Harriet Washington, Tony Perkins.After Hiroshima, the United States Army, eager for new ways to weaponize atomic power, engaged in a series of classified open-air studies designed to test the effects of aerosol radiation in a metropolitian setting. At first the tests were described as defensive, the latest strategy against the threat of Russian bombers. But as later declassified documents suggest, the goal of the testing (performed primarily in low-income and African-American neighborhoods of North St. Louis), was to develop offensive capabilities which could match the climate and terrain of downtown Moscow. Consequently, generations of St. Louis inhabitants were unwitting participants in a government testing program which, like the infamous Tuskegee Syphilis Project, was facilitated by the U.S. Department of Public Health. Target: St. Louis investigates the historical catalyst for these events, the survivors' quest for answers and the subsequent Federal legislation requiring informed consent by human subjects.DVD, wide screen; stereo.
