Paper Title
Three Positive Impacts of the Disclosure of the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment on the Development of Medical Research Ethics

Abstract
In 1932 the US Public Health Service started a 40-year experiment on hundreds of infected Afro-American men with Syphilis (McVean, 2019), the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment. Jones &Reverby (2022) stated that two major lies were told to the patients: Firstly, the human subjects were told that the doctors were treating them for a disease called ‘bad blood’ which was a fictional disease. Secondly, the doctors deceived them again by not telling them that the purpose of this experiment was not to treat but to observe the natural history of untreated syphilis (McVean, 2019), this abuse compromised the integrity of the study. Because penicillin was available as a reliable and safe cure for syphilis at that time (McVean, 2019). Although the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment (TSE) was a horrible infamous experiment, it has changed the perspective of medical ethics among researchers forever. As, after the disclosure of this scandal, three serious positive impacts have been developed.
