"Special Treatment": BiDil, Tuskegee, and the Logic of Race. The Journal of law, medicine & ethics : a journal of the American Society of Law, Medicine & Ethics [J Law Med Ethics] Journal article | | Title | "Special Treatment": BiDil, Tuskegee, and the Logic of Race. | | Author(s) | Reverby SM | | Institution | Marion Butler McLean Professor in the History of Ideas and Professor of Women's Studies at Wellesley College. | | Source | J Law Med Ethics 2008; 36(3):478-84. | | Abstract | BiDil, a drug approved in 2005 by the FDA only for African Americans, was seen by many as almost reparations for the horrors of the Tuskegee Syphilis Study (1932-72) where treatment for black men was denied. The logic of race, however, rather than racism, links BiDil to the past many thought it was escaping. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
