Question

The Tuskegee Study was a classic example of ethics abuse in research. What were three wrongs committed in that study?

Answer 1

the three wrongs committed in the tuskegee study are as follows:-

1. first is the withholding of treatment for research purposes. This is the gravest charge against the study.

2. beliefs within the medical profession about the nature of African Americans, sexual behavior, and disease clouded the study. As a result, the health of an entire community was jeopardized by leaving a communicable disease untreated.

3. no comprehensive report was ever published, the study was reported in medical journals for nearly 40 years without protest from anyone in the medical community. The investigating doctors never questioned the morality of the study.
