Description: Two medical trials came to light in the 1970s that caused the United States medical community to reexamine the way humans are used in such experiments. The Tuskegee Syphilis Study and the hepatitis study at the Willowbrook School fueled controversy within the medical and political community, raising questions that must still be considered today.
