Read the short chapter, "Racism and Research: The Case of the Tuskegee Syphilis Study," by Allan M. Brandt (download or read below). Using both Brandt (2009) and the "Ethics in Sociological Research" section of Chapter 2 of our textbook (Lawston 2019), discuss the ethical issues of the Tuskegee study. Make sure to identify and explain the sociological ethical guidelines that exist today and then apply them to this real-life scenario - were the researchers in the Tuskegee study adhering to today's ethical principles? Provide a few brief examples to support your argument. Your response should be approximately 1 page in length (double-spaced, size 12 font).
