A USA panel's report has revealed more shocking details about a 1040's penicillin study that infected 1,600 Guatemalans with syphilis and gonorrhea...without informing them...and only 700 receiving any treatment.
"It is important that we accurately document this clearly unethical historical injustice. We do this to honor the victims," wrote the panel chairperson.
She also called the research a "shameful piece of medical history".
A number of subjects involved in the study are now suing the USA.
