Describe The Differences Between Mengele And Tuskegee

During World War 2, Nazi doctors were doing tests on their prisoners to answer whatever questions they had about the human body. They had a vast number of prisoners and could easily take many of them and do studies without the fear of repercussions. Mengele was known for being one of the sadistic doctors that would do tests on his prisoners. He tried to change brown eyes into blue eyes, he would kill people and cut them open to see if they had a disease and then would pick out the diseased organs and study them. He had an interest in twins, dwarves and anyone that didn’t look like a normal person but he had a very special interest in twins.

When a cure became available for syphilis they weren’t allowed to go and receive the cure
The Nazi’s didn’t believe they needed to ask consent from their prisoners and the doctors of Tuskegee technically asked consent when the men signed up for the study but failed to follow what they told the men they were going to do. Instead of giving them a cure, they watched disease kill them. Morality was never questioned in either case, the doctors knew their patients would die in the end. The Nazi’s knew their patient would die and they thought they would win the war so there would never be any consequences.

Some of the Nazi doctors paid for their crimes after the war but some escaped and continued living their life in a different country. It wasn’t until the 1990’s that the men of Tuskegee were given reparations for what they faced in the 30’s and by then only a few of them were
