Tuskegee Project
Our project was about the Tuskegee Tragedy, an experiment done by the Government and scientists where 399 men that signed up for free health care were actually involuntarily involved in a research on Syphilis, where none of them knew they had the disease. A majority of the men died and with others their families contracted the disease. We were asked to go into the project and answer questions. We used wikispaces as our space to gather and record the information. I didn't like Wikispaces at all...it just seemed to congested and confusing. As a group, we couldn't do the work at the same time and save because if we did then we would erase someone else's work. One of my group members couldn't get into his Wikispace at all. Basically the website did not aid us at all in our project. I did the question "Is the Tuskegee Study unique or are these tragedies still happening?" and the scientists' viewpoint on the tragedy.Our group's link is PSC Click

Background of Tuskegee Project

Is the Tuskegee Study unique or are these tragedies still happening?
The Tuskegee Study is not unique because I am sure that there are many involuntary experiments still being done on mankind. The reason these experiments are still being done is because there continue to be more discoveries of diseases that are becoming known and many scientists believe that if they take unobtrusive measures that more can be found out.

Who The US Public Health Service

When In the 1930's

What Conducted a experiment on the human body tryin to how it react to the disease of Syphilis

Where In Birmingham, Alabama, area.

Why They told the men that they had bad blood and they were testing to see what would happen to the men went untreated with out the proper medicine. The Tuskegee study is a symbol of racial and scientific exploitation.

Scientist Viewpoint:
From the start, the scientists were wrong because they aided to the destruction of mankind for their own experiment, but we may not be able to blame them as much because the Government was over the entire experiment. Scientists have tried to relate AIDS to the Tuskegee Tragedy but it is not politically correct because the Tuskegee Tragedy was intended while AIDS is not


Historian Viewpoint
1.U.S Public Health Service
2.They ware poor crop shares
3.African-American
4.They were the goverment,they have the power to give free health care
5.The lack of treatment provided to the infected "Negro" population
6.That if we have any new diseases or problems break out we should handle it right away, especially if we have the cure.

THE TUSKEGEE PROJECT AND THE COMPARISON TO THE HOLOCAUST, AND THE FLOODING OF CRACK COCAINE
In the related two projects and experiments, the people or the groups that was involved were not in informed on what was going on at the time. During the Holocaust the main source of the experiment was Jews and Russians that were put in a freezing pool of water naked and were tested to see what was the best way to drop the body temperature. The people in control of the power was the Nazi.
During the 1980s Crack Cocaine became a major issue in Los Angeles.
This drug network opened the first pipeline between Colombia's cocaine cartels and the black neighborhoods of Los Angeles, a city now known as the "crack" capital of the world. The cocaine that flooded in helped spark a crack explosion in urban America and provided the cash and connections needed for L.A.'s gangs to buy automatic weapons. The black communities did not know was about to happen as the cocaine captial took its toll to crack. This was a conspiracy with involvment of the CIA and the the President. With the help of Freeway Ricky Ross, he helped encounter millions of crack from the medellin cartels to help this become a major issue.
