Ethically Impossible I

Episode Summary

Human experiments by the U.S. government on orphans, lepers, and in a foreign mental asylum saw doctors smearing gonorrhea puss in patients eyes', vaginas and rectums; forcing them to drink ground up chancroid from glass beakers, and forcibly restraining them when they ran away. John's Hopkins University, Bristol Meyer Squibb. Johnson & Johnson, The Rockefeller Foundation, and the government of the United States now face billion-dollar lawsuits, currently. Historians Joe Wojie and Britnee Smith are joined by Ethics Professor Tim Collins and Historians Ted Sisco and Adam Iessi.
