I remember that docs and the like would not ( back in the day )inform people on basic genetics re blood type lest they find out their kids were not biologically their own. Do you think their ethics have improved?

This would be highly unethical no matter what the medical profession. Doctors, nurses, PAs, and everyone else working in hospitals cannot violate HIPAA like this without serious legal reprocussions.

Pregnancy-induced diabetes isn't really all that uncommon, it's quite possible she was diabetic during pregnancy and wasn't after. For them not to re-test her is irresponsible.

Yes.

No one seems to want to think about this and there are many examples . I think the bottom line is we have to hold them to account . In the US system they are held to account through money ie getting sued . I would think if they break the law they should do hard time like other criminals.

It could be any number of laws for instance being a ghoul is illegal but doc did it for many years without repercussion .

Third, beliefs within the medical profession about the nature of African Americans, sexual behavior, and disease clouded the study. As a result, the health of an entire community was jeopardized by leaving a communicable disease untreated.
Fourth, although no comprehensive report was ever published, the study was reported in medical journals for nearly 40 years without protest from anyone in the medical community. The investigating doctors never questioned the morality of the study. Also, HEW had no mechanism for periodic reassessment of the ethics and scientific values of the studies being conducted.

To me this seems like straight out murder and they got away with it. Like I said should have been hard time.
