Subjected to Science

"Subjected to Science" by Susan Lederer is a comprehensive history of biomedical research involving human subjects from 1890 to 1940, exploring the ethical debates and various experiments conducted during that period. The book details a range of studies on men, women, and children, including notable projects like yellow fever, dental, and syphilis experiments. It provides an in-depth look at the early practices of medical research before the more widely known unethical experiments of later years.
