Seriously? The U.S. government, led by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, is expected to issue an official apology on Friday to Guatemala for a medical research experiment that infected hundreds of Guatemalans with gonorrhea and syphilis—without their knowledge or consent. The experiments took place in the 1940s on 696 subjects; the apology will be directed towards Guatemalans and Hispanics who are U.S. residents. The research was recently discovered by a women’s studies professor at Wellesley College.
