Ms. Evers' Boys

These are all the ethical dilemma concepts I noticed during the movie Miss Evers' Boys. I can really see why she did what she did, but it seems she could have done more by bringing up the study to the media. I'm sure that she didn't trust the media, or the government, to help her in this situation though--she really didn't have any sort of outlet to tell.

Money for staff or for medicine.
in order to have the same study they cant treat the patients
make medical history
money for treatment
help people understand that black people's bodies react the same as white peoples
need a pure result
patients come before anyone else
do no harm
wipe out centurys of ignorance that disease based on race
tuskeegee medical research center
show what medical black people can do
out of medicine anyway
patients cant get treatment for the study to continue
study will bring them money for treatment in 6months to a year
patients will feel better while they are alive, but are more likely to die
spinal tap required to check for neurological disease
renaming things like spinal taps as back shots
Penicillin came out, but didn't go to Syphilis patients
Science is a hard task masker
chance at history
making change
showing once and for all using science that black and white people are the same
is it ok for her to test the penicillin on her patient without doctors orders?
men died, but would have died anyway...right?


Miss Evers'
Do you think you know better than doctors?
worse things that cleaning toilets--is this her burden to bear?
do what the lord gives us to do
Couldn't leave all her friends or leave town
counted on for the good ideas
If you care about someone you dont lie to them
"I hope what your getting is better than what you're giving up"
