VI. 新聞閱讀 I. US issues apology for 1940s syphilis study in Guatemala WASHINGTON -- American scientists deliberately infected prisoners and patients in a mental hospital in Guatemala with syphilis 60 years ago, a recently unearthed experiment that prompted U.S. officials to apologize Friday and declare outrage over such reprehensible research. The discovery dredges up past wrongs in the name of science like the infamous Tuskegee syphilis study in the U.S. that has long
dampened minority participation in medical research and could complicate ongoing studies overseas that depend on cooperation from some of the world's poorest countries to tackle tough-to-treat diseases. Uncovering it gives us all a chance to look at this and even as we are appalled at what was done to redouble our efforts to make sure something like this could never happen again, said Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The NIH-funded experiment, which ran from 1946 to 1948, was uncovered by a Wellesley College medical historian. It apparently was conducted to test if penicillin, then relatively new, could prevent some sexually transmitted infections. The study came up with no useful information and was hidden for decades. We are outraged that such reprehensible research could have occurred under the guise of public health, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said Friday. U.S. President Barack Obama called Guatemala's president, Alvaro Colom, later Friday to apologize. Clinton had called to apologize the night before. Obviously this is shocking, it's tragic, it's reprehensible, said White House press secretary Robert Gibbs. It's tragic and the U.S. by all means apologizes to all those who were impacted. Guatemalan Embassy official Fernando de la Cerda said his country hadn't known anything about the experiment until Clinton called to apologize Thursday night. We appreciate this gesture from the USA, acknowledging the mistake and apologizing, he said. This must not affect the bilateral relationship. Strict regulations today make clear that it is unethical to experiment on people without their consent, and require special steps for any work with such vulnerable populations as prisoners. But such regulations didn't exist in the 1940s. The U.S. government ordered two independent investigations to uncover exactly what happened in Guatemala and to make sure current bioethics rules are adequate. They will be led by 23. the prestigious Institute of Medicine and the Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues. Wellesley College historian Susan Reverby made the discovery while combing the archived records of Dr. John Cutler, a government researcher involved in the Tuskegee study that from 1932 to 1972 tracked 600 black men in Alabama who had syphilis without ever offering them treatment. II.Close to Nature, Closer to the Culture As the entryway to the magnificent Kenting National Park one of Taiwan's seven national parks Hengchun often houses more tourists than locals. Sung Tze-lai, a
respected Chinese writer, composed a poem in 1981 dedicated to the place's beauty, entitled If You Should Come to Hengchun. He writes: If you should come to Hengchun Make sure to see it in the rain Or watch the sailboats as they float along the water If you should come to Hengchun Make sure to see the sunset When the clouds over the water look like fine red powder If you should come to Hengchun Make sure to see it in good weather When the fog covering the mountains looks like a bridal veil Actually anytime is a good time to come to Hengchun Singing its praises makes your heart feel light No one appreciates the Hengchun area better than Jack Wu, general manager of the grand Caesar Park Hotel in Kenting. Having lived in the area for several years, Wu said the beaches of Kenting have often masked other splendors of Hengchun, creating an illusion that summertime is the only suitable time to visit. In fact, there is something for everyone in the Hengchun area, with cultural, historical and ecological wonders, all year long, Wu highlighted. Before entering Hengchun, let's start our trip by exploring the nature surrounding in Checheng township bordering Hengchun's northern area to see the respected Fuan Temple. 24. Fuan Temple A 15-minute drive from the hot spring area is Taiwan's largest temple devoted to the God of Land, or Earth God, Checheng's Fuan Temple. Built more than 300 years ago during the Guangsyu reign, the impressive temple is gold and red, splendidly decorated with intricate stone carvings. Two Chinese stone lions welcome me outside the temple, adding gravity to the scene.
The Earth God's formal Chinese name is Fudezhengshen, meaning the Earth God of Wealth and Merit. The God's close relationship to people is reflected by his common name Tu Di Gong gong is a reference to a grandfather figure. Often found in small shrines or under main altars, he is traditionally worshiped before the burial of a loved one, to give thanks for receiving the dead as they return to the land. Caesar Park Hotel's tour guide Chen Jing-shan pointed out a special feature of the temple when we were there: the golden censer, designed to whisk stacks of the paper offering money straight into the furnace using wind from the chimney and surrounding windows, appearing as if little invisible fairies are collecting them. Reminiscing the vibrant, romantic sunset view outside my Caesar Park Hotel room, it's unbelievable how such different beauties can be experienced within the same region. Way Up High in Taipei So where is the coolest part of town nowadays? The answer is one of the last places in Taipei City to be developed: the Xinyi District. Perhaps the high real estate prices of this mid-western part of the city aren't enough to convince you how popular the area is. Take a trip down there and see for yourself the district is packed with financial buildings, one-after-another shopping malls, as well as Taipei World Trade 25. Center. Oh yeah, and it's also in the shadow of the grand Taipei 101, the city's No. 1 landmark since a decade ago. Nevertheless, Xinyi isn't just another developed corner; it symbolizes the progress of modern Taiwan. Before embarking on the journey towards the futuristic Taipei, let's stop by Dr. Sun Yat-sen's Memorial Hall to reflect on his contribution towards the making of Taiwan. Paying Respects to Dr. Sun Yat-sen In commemoration of the country's Father Dr. Sun Yat-sen's incomparable dedication to revolutionary activities that transformed the history of Republic of China, the memorial hall was built in 1972, after six years of drafting and careful planning.
Not only did the beautiful monument honor the nation's founder, but it also added culture and an artistic touch to the area. It's also an additional perfect place to spend a leisurely afternoon. The majestic, solemn structure with a golden-orange roof spread so wide like a big birds' wings, which reminded me of a phoenix, was based on renowned architect Wang Da-hung's design, later modified by former President Chiang Kai Shek with Chinese architectural elements. The hall, committed to promote Dr. Sun Yat-sen's many philosophies, prolongs the Three Principles of the People Nationalism, Democracy and Livelihood; the aim is to integrate his beliefs with contemporary Chinese culture. It is also an educational and cultural arts center where various exhibitions and performances take place. I attended a concert in the national performance hall and clearly remember being bowled over by the space's dimension and the traditional Chinese ambiance. The hall's also internationally renowned for its combination of elegance and practicality, with innovative projection and audiovisual systems. There is also a shallow pond in the area, adding colors to a lush park with its pink lotuses and reflecting the sky and clouds. Turtles paddling around the pond or resting on rocks make the environment even more inviting. Now let's move forward towards the 21st century of Taipei via the Taipei City Hall direction. The Celebrity Structure 26. Without a doubt, Taipei 101 is the island's must-visit site, especially the Taipei 101 Observatory. In 2004, Taipei 101, the pride of Taiwan, became the world's tallest building standing at 508 meters, until Burj Dubai (opening January 2010) topped its height at 818 meters. Nonetheless, I was overwhelmed by the structure's countless amazing attributes. As I walk closer and closer to the building, my neck gets sorer and sorer. It's hard to believe that something so tall and stylishly stunning was built by men. The tower combines the centuries-year-old Chinese wisdom of feng shui with innovative design
and advanced construction. Shaped like a bamboo with eight units of eight floors each, the edifice stands for growth (bamboo) and prosperity (the number eight). Situated on the skyscraper's 89th floor, the observatory sits at 382 meters above ground, offering visitors a 360-degree view of the city. The floor is clean and spacious, with audio guides available in eight languages, including English, Japanese, French and Spanish. Besides a delightful must-have-in-all-tourist-traps souvenir shop, the floor also houses the highest mailbox, where visitors can send off postcards to family and friends.
