Ružna istorija: Eksperiment o sifilisu u SAD - Suzan M. Riverbi

Sifilis je pustošio SAD 1930. godine, pogodivši jednog od deset Amerikanaca.
Mnogi doktori su verovali da sifilis drugačije utiče na pacijente crne i bele puti, stoga je Javni Zdrastveni Servis pokrenuo eksperiment kako bi istražili ovo, regrutovavši 600 Crnaca za učesnike. Ali, studija je počivala na laži: muškarci ne bi stvarno dobili lečenje. Suzan Riverbi priča detaljnije o studiji o sifilisu iz Taskigija.

Nearly one in ten Americans battled syphilis in the 1930s, but hope turned to harm in Alabama, where 600 Black men were deceived into joining a study that denied them treatment. Researchers withheld lifesaving penicillin for decades, even as the drug’s effectiveness became widely known. The experiment continued for forty years, causing suffering across generations and fueling lasting distrust in medical institutions. This episode underscores the urgent need for ethical safeguards and structural reform in healthcare.
