Some justifications included feelings of superiority by the dominant race, a belief that what they were doing was actually going to be beneficial for mankind as a whole, a devaluation of minorities, and the belief that those affected by the disease would have died anyway since they could not have afforded private care. The doctors may have seen themselves as observers because they did not cause the syphilis and therefore, were neither morally nor professionally responsible.
