Unethical Practices

Both studies, the Tuskeegee and Guatemala, were unethical in a number of ways. In both studies, the subjects were unaware that they were subjects in the first place. It doesn't help that they all were lied to either. Also, in both cases, the subjects were not cared for after the so-called "experiment" was complete. In the assigned reading of Protecting Human Subjects, I saw how many studies were done by doctors that were just curious and did not care about the patients. For example, the Nazi camps that exploited Jews and the doctors that injected cancer cells into terminally ill patients cared more about what they were accomplishing than the actual subjects.
