Eugenics, Medical Education, and the Public Health Service
The Public Health Service (PHS) Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Male Negro (1932–72) is the most infamous American example of medical research abuse.

But their plight was instrumental this year in altering the state's transplantation statutes. Virginia was the first state to address explicitly the emerging medical need for organs from cadavers. Its homotransplantation s…
