Between 1942 and 1944, hundreds of Guatemalans have been inoculated without their knowledge of sexually transmitted diseases like syphilis and gonorrhea, to test the efficacy of penicillin. The researchers who conducted this study were chosen as guinea pigs for vulnerable persons, including mentally ill.
The United States, which officially recognized these experiments in 2010, are now facing a lawsuit, filed March 14 by the families of victims.
