dc.description.abstractThe Tuskegee Experiment was conducted in Macon County, Alabama from 1932 until 1972. This experiment is, due to experimentation without consent and deliberate non treatment of syphilis, sometimes established as one of the main reasons for a low participation from African Americans in medical research. In order to gain more insight in whether or not the suspicion towards medical research by this population group is legitimate, this study will look, through primary and secondary sources, at the impact of race, class, and gender on the build-up to, execution of, and reactions to the experiment. This study will provide a detailed overview of the events that formed the social order in the United States and influenced the social status of the participants. Concluded from this will be that race, class, and gender and their social construct overrule in the execution of any sort of human experimentation, as those with the lowest status will be used first for experimentation.en_US
