Miss Evers' Boys (1997). Study of the spontaneous evolution of syphilis in black patients
Abstract Miss Evers' Boys (1997) is a movie based on a real fact happened in the State of Alabama (United States), where it was carried out a research work that begun in 1932 and was prolonged up to 1972. It consisted on watching the evolution of syphilis in black male patients, who were not given any anti-syphilitic treatment at any moment. Once the fact was public, a great polemic on the ethics of the research with human fellows was originated and publications dealt with this case. The movie, faithful as for the bottom of the problem, it’s made as a novel about a research team’s nurse and four black participants patients.
