Study Guide on the Guatemala STD Inoculation Studies

Talk about perfect timing.  Just on the heels of Tuesday’s fantastic event at HLS on the Guatemala STD Inoculation studies (video to come soon), the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues has released A Study Guide for “Ethically Impossible” STD Research in Guatemala from 1946 to 1948.  This is the Commission’s first foray into pedagogy, and an absolutely fantastic way to keep the discussion going.  Be sure to check it out, and to share widely.
