It is now illegal to make humans a subject of an experiment or to target a certain race. However, the study could be considered both ethical and unethical. It is in a way ethical because they used men that were infected with the bacteria meaning that as they were getting studied on it the men could have a high chance of surviving. Rather than not receiving any treatment and eventually dying off. The fact that they were helping the men survive can be seen as an ethical situation. Although, they did help the men survive the researchers were just doing an ethical thing to gain something for their own interest. Which leads us to how this experiment was unethical. If the researchers would have simply done the experiment by treating both of the races equally and by not deceiving the black men to just receive the cure then the experiment would have been ethical and acceptable
