The researcher has an obligation to actively do good for the research subjects; merely informing them of the availability of penicillin would not have been sufficient to meet this obligation. b. It took place in one state of the Union and so had limited generalizability. c. Some of the research subjects were illiterate and could not provide consent. d. There was no need for the study to be performed in the first place, since enough was known about syphilis at the time. e. Since African American men in Alabama were in an inferior social position, they constituted an underrepresented and potentially vulnerable population; every effort should have been made to include participants from other ethnic groups.
