Richard Shweder--no Nazi--has written about Tuskegee myths previously. Shweder, R. A. (2005). Tuskegee re-examined. Spiked. Was available at www.spiked-online.com/Articles/0000000CA34A.htm but can't seem to find it now.
Benedek, T. G., & Erlen, J. (1999). The scientific environment of the Tuskegee study of syphilis, 1920-1960. Perspectives in Biology and Medicine, 43, 1-30.

On 21 May 2009 Mike Palij cited 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: http://tinyurl.com/a3kkc 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 http://www.mail-archive.com/tips%40acsun.frostburg.edu/ Allen Esterson Former lecturer, Science Department Southwark College, London http://www.esterson.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't let your email address define you - Define yourself at tunome.com today! ---To make changes to your subscription contact:Bill Southerly ([email protected]) --- To make changes to your subscription contact: Bill Southerly ([email protected])
