PHI 235 Medical Experimentation
This course provides an historical overview of ethical issues raised some of the more egregious cases of the human experimentation. Among those we look at are Nazi medicine, the Tuskegee and Guatemalan syphilis studies, the human radiation studies, the Willowbrook hepatitis study of children, the Pfizer study of meningitis in children, and experiments done on prisoners and detainees. As part of our study we will look at the significance of the Nuremberg code and the Helsinki Declaration.
