medical/scientific ethics and practice from the Tuskegee syphilis
What lessons do we learn about medical/scientific ethics and practice from the Tuskegee syphilis study, the eugenics movement, Henrietta Lacks’ “HeLa cells,” and the Lia Lee case described in The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down? You might also consider other cases from the course as well, such as the testing of oral contraceptives (i.e. the pill) on Puerto Rican women, and the controversies over Jesica Santillan’s failed organ transplant or the decision by Jahi McMath’s family to keep her on life support after physician’s declared her clinically dead. What role did popular ideas about race, culture, and difference play in these cases? How should medical scientists or practitioners learn from history to improve healthcare practice and patient care today? Your paper/presentation MUST draw on and directly reference [unique_solution]The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down book, and any other course materials you wish to use (no additional outside research is necessary for completing this assignment).
