| Discipline: | Cardiovas Sys | | Subject Definition: | Heart Transplantation-History; Racism; Black or African Amer | | NLM Class: | WG 169 | | LC Class: | RD598 | | Abstract: | In 1968, Bruce Tucker, a black man, went into Virginia's top research hospital with a head injury, only to have his heart taken out of his body and put into the chest of a white businessman. Now journalist Chip Jones exposes the horrifying inequality surrounding Tucker's death and how he was used as a human guinea pig without his family's permission or knowledge. The circumstances surrounding his death reflect the long legacy of mistreating African Americans that began more than a century before with cadaver harvesting and worse. It culminated in efforts to win the heart transplant race in the late 1960s. |
