Description
Starting in the 1940s, American researchers travelled down to Guatemala to conduct a number of experiments around STD research. They said they intended to find a post-exposure prophylaxis, but ended up deliberately infecting over 1000 Guatemalan people with STDs... and didn't cure over half of them. How was this allowed to happen?
