#58 First, Do No Harm: The US Sexually Transmitted Disease Experiments in Guatemala
Manage episode 337033241 series 3262549
In 1946 the United States government immorally and unethically and, arguably illegally engaged in research experiments in which more than 5000 uninformed and unconsenting Guatemalan people were intentionally infected with bacteria that cause sexually transmitted diseases. Many have been left untreated to the present day. And although US President Barack Obama apologized in 2010, and although the US Presidential commission for the study of bioethical issues for the Guatemalan experiments was morally wrong, little if anything has been done to compensate the victims and their families.
