PUBLIC LAW 95-79 [P.L. 95-79] TITLE 50, CHAPTER 32, SECTION
1520 “CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL WARFARE PROGRAM” “The use of human subjects will
be allowed for the testing of chemical and biological agents by the U.S.
Department of Defense, accounting to Congressional committees with respect to
the experiments and studies. The Secretary of Defense [may] conduct tests and
experiments involving the use of chemical and biological [warfare] agents on
civilian populations [within the United States
1900: A U.S. doctor doing research in the Philippines
infects a number of prisoners with the Plague. He continues his research by
inducing Beriberi in another 29 prisoners. four test subjects die
Under commission from the U.S. surgeon general, Dr. Walter
Reed goes to Cuba and uses 22 Spanish immigrant workers to prove that yellow
fever is contracted through mosquito bites. Doing so, he introduces the
practice of using healthy test subjects, and also the concept of a written
contract to confirm informed consent of these subjects. While doing this study,
Dr. Reed clearly tells the subjects that, though he will do everything he can
to help them, they may die as a result of the experiment. He pays them $100 in
gold for their participation, plus $100 extra if they contract yellow fever
1906: Harvard professor Dr. Richard Strong infects prisoners
in the Philippines with cholera to study the disease; 13 of them die. He
compensates survivors with cigars and cigarettes. During the Nuremberg Trials,
Nazi doctors cite this study to justify their own medical experiments
1907: Indiana passes the world's first law authorizing the
state to force the sterilization of those it deems unfit to reproduce. In
Germany, Adolph Hitler is only 18 years old.
1911: Dr. Hideyo Noguchi of the Rockefeller Institute for
Medical Research publishes data on injecting an inactive syphilis preparation
into the skin of 146 hospital patients and normal children in an attempt to
develop a skin test for syphilis. Later, in 1913, several of these children's
parents sue Dr. Noguchi for allegedly infecting their children with syphilis
("Reviews and Notes: History of Medicine: Subjected to Science: Human
Experimentation in America before the Second World War").
1913: Medical experimenters "test" 15 children at
the children's home St. Vincent's House in Philadelphia with tuberculin,
resulting in permanent blindness in some of the children. Though the
Pennsylvania House of Representatives records the incident, the researchers are
not punished for the experiments ("Human Experimentation: Before the Nazi
Era and After").
1915: Dr. Joseph Goldberger, under order of the U.S. Public
Health Office, produces Pellagra, a debilitating disease that affects the
central nervous system, in 12 Mississippi inmates to try to find a cure for the
disease. One test subject later says that he had been through "a thousand
hells." In 1935, after millions die from the disease, the director of the
U.S Public Health Office would finally admit that officials had known that it
was caused by a niacin deficiency for some time, but did nothing about it
because it mostly affected poor African-Americans. During the Nuremberg Trials,
Nazi doctors used this study to try to justify their medical experiments on
concentration camp inmates
1918: In response to the Germans' use of chemical weapons
during World War I, President Wilson creates the Chemical Warfare Service (CWS)
as a branch of the U.S. Army. Twenty-four years later, in 1942, the CWS would
begin performing mustard gas and lewisite experiments on over 4,000 members of
the armed forces
1940's: The U.S. government injected 12 human guinea pigs
with uranium and plutonium without their knowledge as part of a Cold War-era
radiation experiment. The 12 victims were injected during the 1940s -- 11 with
plutonium, and one with uranium -- to see how the human body would react to an
atomic bombing. The tests sprang from efforts to develop atomic weapons. At the
time, scientists claimed that the people were terminally ill anyway and would
not survive 10 years. But a number of them lived longer, and the plutonium is
said to have caused urinary tract infections and painful osteoporosis, or
thinning of the bones
1940's: In an
exceptionally large study at Vanderbilt University in the 1940s, approximately
820 poor, pregnant Caucasian women were administered tracer doses of
radioactive iron. Vanderbilt worked with the Tennessee State Department of
Health, and the research was partly funded by the Public Health Service. Today,
most women take iron supplements during pregnancy. This experiment provided the
scientific data needed to determine the nutritional requirements for iron
during pregnancy
1940: Four hundred
prisoners in Chicago are infected with Malaria in order to study the effects of
new and experimental drugs to combat the disease. Nazi doctors later on trial
at Nuremberg cite this American study to defend their own actions during the
Holocaust.
1942 Chemical Warfare Services begins mustard gas experiments
on approximately 4,000 servicemen. The experiments continue until 1945 and made
use of Seventh Day Adventists who chose to become human guinea pigs rather than
serve on active duty.
The Statesville Penitentiary Malaria Experiment (1940)
In Chicago, in the
1940s, prisoners were purposefully infected with malaria to study the effects
on humans if left untreated and to test the effects of experimental drugs in
combating the disease. Four hundred men,
between 1940-1960 were infected with the disease conducted by the University of
Chicago. They were all volunteers,
knowing that they were going to be given the disease in exchange for a chance
at parole or a lighter prison sentence.
In 1946, during the Nuremberg Nazi Medical trials, the Nazi doctors who had
been captured used Statesville Penitentiary as a defense that their studies
were no different than what the Americans were doing. It didn’t fly with their Jewish judges and
they were executed while the Chicago experiments went on for almost two decades.
Somehow these actions weren’t illegal.
1943 In response to Japan's full-scale germ warfare program,
the U.S. begins research on biological weapons at Fort Detrick, MD. 1944 U.S. Navy uses human subjects to test
gas masks and clothing. Individuals were locked in a gas chamber and exposed to
mustard gas and lewisite.
