Guatemalans 'died' in 1940s US syphilis study

At least 83 Guatemalans are thought to have died not long after being deliberately infected with syphilis and gonorrhoea in the 1940s, a presidential commission in Washington has heard.

None of those infected consented.

Of these, some 1,300 were deliberately infected with syphilis, gonorrhoea or another sexually transmitted disease, chancroid.

And of that group only approximately 700 received some sort of treatment.

**Opinion**

How does this run contrary to American values (as according to Pres. Obama), when US government scientists are to blame!?!
