TThe Tuskegee study was definitely a racist ...Only blacks were the subject pool.Letting the blacks die just to find out some kind of a result is unethical and would violate all types of ethical guidelines.Never mind that the black community offered some cooperation-that does not excuse ethical judgments. This kind of scientific methodology is appaling. On another note,if a researcher finds a cure for AIDS,it would still be unethical to withdraw treatment from some clients to let them die as a way of validating the effectiveness of a treatment. Btw,President Clinton issued an apology and compensated the living relatives . Btw,what do two Canadian dudes and a British dude know about the politics and socio-health factors of racism in the U.S.
