The Belmont Report proposes three criteria for the evaluation of human subjects research, respect for persons, beneficence and justice, as described above in the introductory section. In what ways does the Tuskegee Study fail to conform to each of these criteria. (Be sure to clearly define each of these as you discuss it.) The Belmont Report distinguished three guidelines for proper etiquette in human experimentation: respect for persons, beneficence, and justice. Respect for persons indicates that each person, especially those with subordinate freedom, (including prisoners and inmates) has the proper protection they are entitled to. In the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, the subjects were not cared for in the best way possible. Even after penicillin presented a cure, the African Americans were refused treatment. The second guideline, beneficence, implied that no intentional harm should be put upon the patients, and the benefits of treatment should be maximized. The doctors of the study were aware of the fact that there was a possibility to better the health of the dependents. Even with this awareness, the medication was not provided to the victims of syphilis. It is also necessary that there be justice in the selection of those to be studied such as neglecting to choose those who with all probability would not benefit from treatment. The Tuskegee Study failed in this point because it was unfair to select those who lived below poverty level and most likely had never had medical treatment.

My question was answered by the movie-white men DID have syphilis as well. I do have one question though. Were the white men being treated in Norway or wherever the other study center was? Or were they simply being studied like the African American guys at Tuskegee?
