>> what percentage of US students would recognize the Tuskegee experiments continued until 1972

Literally everyone who has ever had to take a medical or scientific ethics course knows this, since the IRB process was born specifically from this horrific abuse of science.

I'm guessing most high schools cover it in US History and/or World History, also, as mine did.

I went to a rather nice semi-private high school (graduated 15 years ago) and Tuskegee was not covered

Thank you. It seems this is common knowledge in some circles. I know for a fact it isn't in others.

My post was just a question as to the overall percentage. Not whether there were any Americans who knew about the experiments.

Apparently asking questions and being inquisitive is bad now.
