description: In this work, Wolfgang Weyers, a physician himself, cuts a swath, profoundly, through the history of unethical experiments on humans, from the first intentional innoculation of a patient with syphilis and gonorrhea in England of the late 18th century through the infamous Tuskegee Study...to the exploitation of orphans and prisoners as human guinea pigs...The scope of Weyers' erudition includes the East, as well as the West, and spares none of import who engaged in these unconscionable practices.
