Guatemala

It appears that in the 1940s, U.S. Government researchers infected patients in Guatemala with syphilis and gonorrhea without their consent.

But, come on. It was the 1940s, and everybody was doing it. Peer pressure is a powerful thing. And let's be realistic - Is the 'without their consent' bit necessary? Who is going to 'consent' to get an STD?

Also, what's a Guatemala?
