The consent of women in hormone therapy studies was often coerced from "summary" of The Greatest Experiment Ever Performed on Women by Barbara Seaman
The consent of women in hormone therapy studies was often coerced. Researchers and doctors pressured women to participate in studies without fully informing them of the potential risks and side effects. In some cases, women were not even given a choice in whether or not to participate. They were simply told that they had to take the hormone therapy in order to help advance medical science. Many women were not provided with all the information they needed to make an informed decision about participating in hormone therapy studies. They were not told about the potential long-term effects of the treatment or the possible risks involved. Some women were misled about the purpose of the studies, being told that they were simply receiving a new and innovative treatment without understanding the true nature of the research. Women were often coerced into participating in hormone therapy studies due to societal pressure and the influence of their doctors. They were made to feel that they had no choice but to take part in the studies, even if they had concerns or reservations. Some women felt that they had to comply with their doctors' recommendations in order to receive the best possible care, even if it meant putting themselves at risk. The lack of informed consent in hormone therapy studies is a troubling aspect of medical research history. Women were not given the opportunity to fully understand the risks and benefits of participating in these studies, leading to many negative outcomes. This exploitation of women for the sake of advancing medical knowledge is a dark chapter in the history of women's healthcare.
