..........................................................................................................201 iv presidential commission for the Study of bioethical issues President Barack Obama The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. President: On behalf of the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues, we present to you this report, “Ethically Impossible”: STD Research in Guatemala from 1946 to 1948. In response to your request of November 24, 2010, the Commission oversaw a thorough fact-finding investigation into the specifics of the U.S. Public Health Service-led studies in Guatemala involving the intentional exposure and infection of vulnerable populations. Following a nine-month intensive investigation, the Commission has concluded that the Guatemala experiments involved gross violations of ethics as judged against both the standards of today and the researchers’ own understanding of applicable contemporaneous practices. It is the Commission’s firm belief that many of the actions undertaken in Guatemala were especially egregious moral wrongs because many of the individuals involved held positions of public institutional responsibility. The best thing we can do as a country when faced with a dark chapter

    University Archives Inventory Record Group Number: UR001.03 Title: Burney Lynch Parkinson Presidential Records Date: 1926-1969 Bulk Date: 1932-1952 Extent: 42 boxes Creator: Burney Lynch Parkinson Administrative/Biographical Notes: Burney Lynch Parkinson (1887-1972) was an educator from Lincoln, Tennessee. He received his B.S. from Erskine College in 1909, and rose up the administrative ranks from English teacher in Laurens, South Carolina public schools. He received his M.A. from Peabody College in 1920, and Ph.D. from Peabody in 1926, after which he became president of Presbyterian College in Clinton, SC in 1927. He was employed as Director of Teacher Training, Certification, and Elementary Education at the Alabama Dept. of Education just before coming to MSCW to become president in 1932. In December 1932, the university was re-accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, ending the crisis brought on the purge of faculty under Governor Theodore Bilbo, but appropriations to the university were cut by 54 percent, and faculty and staff were reduced by 33 percent, as enrollment had declined from 1410 in 1929 to 804 in 1932. Parkinson authorized a study of MSCW by Peabody college, ultimately pursuing its recommendations to focus on liberal arts at the cost of its traditional role in industrial, vocational, and technical education. Building projects were kept to a minimum during the Parkinson years. Old Main was restored and named for Mary Calloway in 1938. Franklin Hall was converted to a dorm, and the Whitfield Gymnasium into a student center with the Golden Goose Tearoom inside. Parkinson Hall was constructed in 1951 and named for Dr.

    Professional Midwifery: Learning from the Past and Present to Inform the Future of Maternal Health Services in Guatemala By Anna Leigh Summer A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Public Health in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Sylvia Guendelman, Chair Professor Dilys Walker Professor Patricia Baquedano-López Spring 2016 © Copyright by Anna Leigh Summer, 2016 Abstract Professional Midwifery: Learning from the Past and Present to Inform the Future of Maternal Health Services in Guatemala By Anna Leigh Summer Doctor of Public Health University of California, Berkeley Professor Sylvia Guendelman, Chair Guatemala has an unacceptably high maternal mortality ratio (MMR) of 140, and improvements in this area have been slow. Furthermore, gross inequalities in health outcomes exist within its population, with over 70% of maternal deaths in Guatemala occurring among indigenous Mayan women. Mayan communities have been historically marginalized, and most Mayan women prefer the services of traditional birth attendants (TBA). As such, a disconnect exists between the formal and traditional health sectors in Guatemala, contributing to poor maternal health outcomes. It is widely agreed that professional midwifery is an important component of safe motherhood strategies that can reduce maternal morbidity and mortality. Today the Guatemalan Ministry of Health is reintroducing midwifery for the first time since 1960. Given the potential professional midwifery has to address the obstetric care needs of Mayan women and bridge the gap between the health sectors in Guatemala, formative research is needed at the outset to inform the design and implementation of this program.

    Governors’ Papers 1 R. Gregg Cherry GOVERNOR ROBERT GREGG CHERRY, 1944-1949, n.d. Arrangement: By record series or subject, then chronological. Reprocessed by: James Mark Valsame Finding aid by W. F. Burton, January 8, 1949 Digitized by: James Mark Valsame Date: May 31, 2012 Robert Gregg Cherry (October 17, 1891 – June 25, 1957), Post-World War II governor of North Carolina and speaker and long-time member of the North Carolina House of Representatives, was born at Catawba Junction, near York, SC, to Chancellor Lafayette and Hattie Davis Cherry. His mother died when Cherry was one year old and his father, a farmer and Confederate veteran, six years later. Cherry was sent to Gastonia, just across the state line, to live with his maternal grandfather, pioneer Gastonian Isaac N. Davis, and his uncle, Henry M. Lineberger. Cherry attended the public schools of Gastonia and then was graduated from Trinity College in 1912. He completed a law degree at Trinity College in 1914, winning the Judge Walter Clark prize as the highest ranking student in the graduating class. Returning to Gastonia, he established a law practice with Alfred Lee Bulwinkle, long-time friend and future congressman from the area. When the United States entered World War I in 1917, Cherry delighted in organizing among men in the Gastonia area a machine gun troop of the First North Carolina Cavalry, which he trained and commanded during service overseas. He always took great pride in having developed a group of local men into a fighting cadre. His interest in the military continued after the war, and he maintained membership in the National Guard until 1924.
