Loyola would also be able to supply the needs for the different types of aging such as normal and abnormal so everyone is given the same opportunities to excel.

In the lawsuit “Guatemalans vs Johns Hopkins University” over 800 Guatemalans were deliberately infected with sexually transmitted diseases and then treated with penicillin in an experiment to see if this antibiotic would work in treating these diseases.
