commission of inquiry condemns the Tuskgee experiment carried out in the health center of Macon County, Alabama, since 1932. In practice, they analyzed the evolution of untreated syphilis in 600 black farmer patients, 399 of whom were sick. People were injected with a serum, in reality a placebo. The years passed and only in 1972 the experiment came to light and was immediately interrupted. The commission concluded the investigation in 1990 and condemned the experiment as immoral, racist and poorly conducted. In 2006 it was judged as the most infamous study in American history and organizations were created to prevent it from happening again.
