This study lasted from 1932-1972 and I believe the reason these poor men participated in the study is because the men were offered free medical exams, free meals, and burial insurance (CDC, 2016). Since all of the participants were poor, having free things presented to them was enough to entice them to take part in the study.
Many ethical issues were violated during the duration of the project. First off the men involved in the study were not aware of the true intentions of the experiment. These men were led to believe one thing but in fact did not receive the proper treatment needed to cure their disease. An ethical issue violated during this study was the denial of treatment. Adequate treatment was withheld from a group of poor black men
