U.S. apologizes to Guatemalans for secret STD experiments | The Upshot Yahoo! News - Yahoo! News

The discovery of the long-ago experiments stems from another, far better known episode of federal tampering with test subjects to study sexually transmitted diseases: the long-running "Tuskegee experiment," studying 399 poor black men from Macon County, Ala., who had been diagnosed with syphilis but never informed of their condition. Federal scientists simply told the men they had "bad blood" and researchers compiled a four-decades-long study monitoring "untreated syphilis in the male Negro." Researchers never treated the illness over its usually fatal course, even after the simple remedy of penicillin was shown to be an effective syphilis treatment; participants received only free meals and medical exams, together with federal funding of their funeral expenses after they died. The study began in 1932, continuing right through to 1972, when it was exposed in media reports.

And how many people's lives did they save with this experiment? People are sick of this America apology bullshit; how about they start congratulating America for a change? Fuckin' communists.

Good attempts at stirring controversy. I don't think you believe what you say though.

Honestly, what's a few Guatemalans, more or less?

According to your logic we should also congratulate the Nazis for the experiments they did on the Jews!

The hypothermia experiment detailed here makes me especially grateful.

Nice trolling. What's next? Throw in some racism, and a touch of sexism too?

Don't be angry, it's just that you didn't support everything America (specifically conservatives) has done in the past, present, and future. If it involves the United States, fucking over some colored people, and you're not on board with it, you're no longer playing ball.

Fun fact - the only member of the Tuskeegee group to stay on during the entire 40 year experiment was Ms. Eunice Rivers, pictured here on the left. Not what most people probably pictured...

funny enough, a lot of the Nazi experiments are still referenced in modern medical texts, and used as citations for research. Basically they did what nobody else was allowed to (albeit fucked up)

You don't get it. It's not the fact that we did it; it's the fact that we're apologizing for it... now.
