Top 10 Evil Human Experiments
http://listverse.com/crime/top-10-evil-human-experiments/
I note that the Tuskegee affair is listed as number 3, with only
Japanese lethal experimentation on humans during the Second
Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945) and World War II, and Nazi human
experimentation in its concentration camps during World War II,
listed as more heinous. There is no doubt that there were serious
unethical aspects to the Tuskegee experiment, but that it scarcely
merits such a position has been discussed twice before on TIPS,
in 2005 and 2007. I have no desire to open the debate yet again,
but I'll remind TIPSters of the article on the subject in the Lancet:

Anyone interested in the TIPS exchanges, especially the message from
Stephen Black on 17 June 2005 that invited us to re-examine the
affair, can use the search facility at
