Os experimentos da Guatemala: Infecção intencional de presos, soldados e insanos pela Laboratório de Pesquisa em Doneça Venérea dos EUA

Abstract

In September 2011, the United States Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethics released a report entitled Ethically Impossible, describing the report on human experiments conducted by physicians working at the United States Public Health Service in Guatemala, between 1946 and 1948, related to testing for syphilis and gonorrhea. This article briefly describes the events of that time and translates that part of the report which describes the experiments performed at the National Psychiatric Hospital.
