To develop more decided reactions, the strength of the current was increased. When the needle entered the brain substance, she complained of acute pain in the neck. Bartholow described his experiment as follows: Although Rafferty came out of the coma caused by the experiment three days later, she died from a massive seizure the following day. This was done with no intention of treating her. He inserted electrode needles into her exposed brain matter to gauge her responses. Bartholow saw Rafferty's condition as terminal but felt there was a research opportunity. The lesion was diagnosed as a cancerous ulcer and surgical treatments were attempted. Roberts Bartholow of the Good Samaritan Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio for treatment of a lesion on her head. In 1874, Mary Rafferty, an Irish servant woman, came to Dr. Wall: "Sims' use of postoperative opium appears to have been well supported by the therapeutic practices of his day, and the regimen that he used was enthusiastically supported by many contemporary surgeons." A contrary view is presented by the gynecologic surgeon and anthropologist L.L. It has been claimed that he addicted the women in his surgical experiments to morphine, only providing the drugs after surgery was already complete, to make them more compliant. To test one of his theories about the causes of trismus in infants, Sims performed experiments where he used a shoemaker's awl to move around the skull bones of the babies of enslaved women. The period during which Sims operated on female slaves, between 18, was one during which the new practice of anesthesia was not universally accepted as safe and effective. The women- one of whom was operated on 30 times- eventually died from infections resulting from the experiments. Marion Sims, who is often referred to as "the father of gynecology", performed surgical experiments on enslaved African women, without anaesthesia. 11.4 Psychological/torture/interrogation experiments.

The ethical, professional, and legal implications of this in the United States medical and scientific community were quite significant, and led to many institutions and policies that attempted to ensure that future human subject research in the United States would be ethical and legal. The human research programs were usually highly secretive and performed without the knowledge or authorization of Congress, and in many cases information about them was not released until many years after the studies had been performed. Some others were sponsored by government agencies or rogue elements thereof, including the Centers for Disease Control, the United States military, and the Central Intelligence Agency, or they were sponsored by private corporations which were involved in military activities. Many of these experiments violated US law. In many of the studies, a large portion of the subjects were poor, racial minorities, or prisoners. Many of these tests were performed on children, the sick, and mentally disabled individuals, often under the guise of "medical treatment". The experiments included the exposure of humans to many chemical and biological weapons (including infections with deadly or debilitating diseases), human radiation experiments, injections of toxic and radioactive chemicals, surgical experiments, interrogation and torture experiments, tests which involved mind-altering substances, and a wide variety of other experiments. Such tests were performed throughout American history, but most of them were performed during the 20th century. Numerous experiments which were performed on human test subjects in the United States are considered unethical, because they were illegally performed or they were performed without the knowledge, consent, or informed consent of the test subjects. A subject of the Tuskegee syphilis experiment has his blood drawn, c.
