The idea
From nineteen thirty-two the United States Public Health Service studied six hundred Black men in Tuskegee, never telling those with syphilis.
In practice
Penicillin curing syphilis by nineteen forty-seven, yet withheld until the study's exposure in nineteen seventy-two.
Where people slip
The outcry produced the National Research Act of nineteen seventy-four. Today review boards and informed consent, with a child's assent, protect participants.
