The town of Tuskegee, was populated with blacks only, witch is why white doctors experimented on them. Since the small community was diseased with syphilis, the experiment was to see how syphilis affected the community, see how fast it would spread if there was ever a major outbreak, and to see how syphilis will affect the people if left untreated. At the time, there was a newly found cure to syphilis is was distributed to all hospitals, and doctor offices. However, this cure was not given to the people of Tuskegee. The people conducting this experiment were determined to see the end results. Moreover, "In respect to the first charge, the panel concluded that the Study was ethically unjustified in 1932 when it was begun. However, its statement, "One fundamental ethical rule is that a person should not be subjected to avoidable risk of death or physical harm unless he freely and intelligently consents," is moot". In other words, this experiment was claimed unethical because it was one hundred percent avoidable because the Doctors had a cure to help the people of Tuskegee, but did not allow for them to be cured. Many people believe that these types of unethical medical human experiments are good.

If these experiments were ignored, there would be no need for visits to the doctors, because everyone would be scared to be experimented on and end up not going. Thanks to the Nuremburg code, it is help limiting the act of these experiments.
