“…When the sponsorship from the Rosenwald Foundation ceased, the treatment part of the study was dropped, and its observational arm continued until the early 1970s when a PHS officer leaked the story to a Washington, DC, newspaper and the study was abruptly terminated. It is worth mentioning that, in a sense, the study had already been made public by virtue of its internal reports (15, 16) as well as its numerous publications in widely read medical journals, where the methodology (observation but not treatment) had been clearly described from the outset (17–24).…”

“…Patients in this cohort felt that they were receiving special care or treatment, when in fact treatment for their ailment was not given, even after penicillin was discovered. The study coordinator, who had been with the program since its inception (15), was aware that the generally accepted treatment was not being administered to the subjects, but as an African American member of the community she saw the study as an opportunity for the impoverished to obtain medical care.…”

Historian James H. Jones published the first edition of Bad Blood, the definitive history of the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment, in 1981. Its clear-eyed examination of that research and its implications remains a bioethics classic, and the 30-year anniversary of its publication served as the impetus for the reexamination of research ethics that this symposium presents. Recent revelations about the United States Public Health Service study that infected mental patients and prisoners in Guatemala with syphilis in the late 1940s in order to determine the efficacy of treatment represent only one of the many attestations to the persistence of ongoing, critical, and underaddressed issues in research ethics that Bad Blood first explored. Those issues include, but are not limited to: the complex and contested matters of the value of a given research question, the validity of the clinical trial designed to address it, and the priorities of science.
