   ...began experimenting on enslaved women without consent and without   
   any anesthesia, causing untold suffering. Operating under the mere   
   racist notion that African American people did not feel pain, he   
   asked his patients, who were completely naked, to perch on their   
   knees and bend forward onto their elbows so their heads rested on   
   their hands. After 30 operations and 4 years spent experimenting on   
   a 17-year-old enslaved woman, he finally “perfected” his method.   
   Only then did he begin to practice on white women, to whom he freely   
   administered anesthesia. Sims’s heinous acts were legally   
   permissible because enslaved women were considered no more than   
   their master’s property and were allowed no autonomy over their own   
   bodies.
