As Creon appears, he tells them that the god, Apollo, said that there is bad blood in Thebes, and that until this blood is expelled Thebes will be a sick city. This bad blood is the blood of the person who killed Laios.

I will state the violations of ethical principles and whether an experiment of this kind would be conducted today. The men in this study were from Macon County, in 1932, who lived in poverty and had likely never been treated for any reason by a medical doctor. The nick name “bad blood” came from the doctors stating that
experiment on human beings in medical history. Since the premise on which the experiment was based did not involve finding a cure or providing treatment, the question then remains why did the study begin and why was it continued for four decades? In Bad Blood: The Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment, James Jones describes the fate of the 600 Black victims. Ultimately, 399 men, who were in the late or tertiary stages of syphilis, participated in the experiment. In addition, 201 men who were free of the disease
found to be “safe”. However, this was not the case until the late 1990s and early 2000s. One time in history that highly influenced the strict regulations we currently have was the nationwide contamination of patients through blood transfusion or by consuming medications
Introduction The book, Bad Blood: The Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment, by James H. Jones, was one of the most influential books in today’s society.

One can analyze Legend by Marie Lu by relating the book to a song, relating to the setting and character, analyzing a theme, and describing five aspects of the plot. To begin, the song “Bad Blood” by Taylor Swift can relate to the book. “Did you have to do this? I was thinking that you could be trusted” (Taylor) hints about how Taylor Swift felt a little betrayed. Similarly, June trusted Thomas to set an example, and do the right thing, however

Commentary on Lorna Sage, Bad Blood (2000) This passage revolves around a young girl's life, how it has changed and what it has become. It is ironically, how a friendship has evolved into something that the two girls who are exposed in this passage have never thought it would become.

The relationship
Let Kids Be Kids “A lot of parents will do anything for their kids except let them be themselves." (Banksy) All the time, you hear adults say they wish they were children again.
