I agree that the experiment deserve the harsh judgement it received and should still be

frowned upon. Withholding penicillin treatment was not fair as they deserved to receive the

medication (Alsan et al., 2019). The medical practitioners who participated in the program were

completely unethical and should have resigned from the program even before it started. It is

important to ensure that participant receive all the relent information regarding the experiment

before they are allowed to participate.
