This was based on true events that took place in Tuskegee, AL. Hard to fathom that this was based on a true story. If you don't much, this play is an excellent overview. ( ) A dramatization of the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment. The author uses fictional characters to demonstrate just how people can begin doing the right thing and then over time gradually devolve into ethically questionable behavior and then begin making rationalizations about why they were unable to do te moral thing, or why what they were doing was the moral choice. In this text, the idea of sacrificing a few people to potentially save a lot is explored. It is made worse by the fact that the scope of the study was way beyond what was needed, and could have been halted years before it was. While the bulk of the responsibility probably lies with the government refusal to fund health service for poor blacks, science also has to take a good hard look - and eventually developed more ethical controls to hopefully prevent such excesses again. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

"It is 1932 when loyal, devoted Nurse Eunice Evers is invited to work with Dr. Brodus and Dr. Douglas on a federally funded program to treat syphilis patients in Alabama. Free treatment is offered to those who test positive for the disease, including Caleb Humphries and Willie Johnson. But when the government withdraws its support, money is offered for what will become known as 'The Tuskegee Experiment'; a study of the effects of syphilis on patients who don't receive treatment. Now the men must be led to believe they are being cared for, when in fact they are being denied the medicine that could cure them. Miss Evers is faced with a terrible dilemma - to abandon the experiment and tell her patients or to remain silent and offer only comfort"--Container.
