BENCHMARK: Research Disasters Structure Introduction Many moral issues were raised as a result of the Tuskegee Syphilis Study. The Tuskegee syphilis study was carried out in 1932. The purpose of this research was to look into the impacts of undiagnosed African Americans. Even so, the participants in the study were unaware of how dangerous the illness was. The study's history, as well as the repercussions and ethical problems, will be explored. Background In the late 1920s and the early 1930s, syphilis would become a key problem for poverty stricken, hardworking African American men. The Tuskegee Institute carried out an experiment with 600 African American men in 1932; 400 of the 600 men were already afflicted (Morling, 2015). Because of an absence of health care, the few who lived in poverty did not understand syphilis at the time. There was no instant remedy at the time of this study, which took place in the 1930s. The only treatment available was potentially toxic infusion (Morling, 2015). This technique had not only severe but also deadly consequences. This test left individuals who were infused with syphilis with no effective therapy and caused suffering to the attendees (Nelson, 2012). This study was supposed to last only a few weeks, but it went on until men became so ill that they passed away of syphilis. Originally, the purpose of this study was to better explain syphilis and its impacts by providing free diagnostic and treatment to attendees who required adequate health care (Morling, 2015).
attendees are allowed to choose whether or not they want to engage in a study (Morling, 2015). Attendees shouldn't have more benefits or drawbacks than the other participants in the research. Every individual should be treated equally. Anybody who infringes the guidelines, per the American Psychological Association, may forfeit their license to practice or even be reprimanded (American Psychological Association, 2020). Any violation of the ethics code will result in repercussions. Conclusion Upon evaluating this research, ethical questions were raised. The African American men who participated in this research endured a lot. An editorial on ethical research talks how individuals who participate in studies must do so on their own free will, rather than being coerced or misled (Walton, 2016). Attendees in the Tuskegee study were selected based on their race and financial aspects. Participants were not only selected according to the two criteria, but they were also granted false expectations. It was ethically wrong from the beginning of the study to select participants by race and financial standing. When it involves research, in addition to their wellbeing, individuals must be treated with respect in all circumstances (Walton, 2016). It is essential to think about the study's context, the repercussions, in addition to the moral and legal concerns.
