Description:

CHOICE/LESS is back with The Backstory, a four-part miniseries on historical injustices in reproductive and sexual health care advancement.

Today, many people might be appalled to hear of a medical study being conducted on unwitting participants, but the concept of informed consent as we understand it today wasn’t always a standard practice in health care. The first episode of CHOICE/LESS: The Backstory explores what went wrong during the early contraceptive pill trial in Puerto Rico.
