| 词条 | Terre Haute prison experiments |
| 释义 |
The Terre Haute prison experiments were conducted by Dr. John C. Cutler in 1943 and 1944 under Dr. John F. Mahoney, the head of the Venereal Disease Research Laboratory of the US Public Health Service, to determine the effectiveness of treatments for sexually transmitted diseases. The test subjects were prisoners at the U.S. Penitentiary in Terre Haute, Indiana.[1]{{rp|20}} They were given disclosures and consented to the experiments.[2] A total of 241 prisoners participated in the study and received $100, a certificate of merit, and a letter of commendation to the parole board at the end of the study. The researchers deposited various strains and concentrations of gonorrhea into the penises of the test subjects.[1]{{rp|21}} After several months, Mahoney noted that the method of inducing gonorrhea in humans was unreliable and could not provide meaningful tests of prophylactic agents.[3] The Terre Haute experiments laid the foundation for and bore many similarities to the Guatemala syphilis experiment, including many of the same researchers, goals, and methods.[1]{{rp|13}} References1. ^1 2 {{cite book|title="Ethically Impossible" STD Research in Guatemala from 1946 to 1948|date=September 2011|url=https://bioethicsarchive.georgetown.edu/pcsbi/sites/default/files/Ethically%20Impossible%20(with%20linked%20historical%20documents)%202.7.13.pdf|publisher=Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues|location=Washington, D.C.}} {{Med-stub}}2. ^{{cite book|last=Di Cicco|first=Camillo|title=History of syphilis: a night with Venus, a lifetime with Mercury|page=54|isbn= 9781500139650|year=2014}} 3. ^{{cite book|last=Marks|first=Harry M.|title=The progress of experiment: Science and therapeutic reform in the United States 1900–1990|date=2000|page=105|isbn=9780521785617}} 4 : Medical experimentation on prisoners|Human subject research in the United States|Clinical trials|Syphilis |
