When Medicine Went Mad: Bioethics and the Holocaust

In When Medicine Went Mad, one of the nation’s leading bioethicists - and an extraordinary panel of experts and concentration camp survivors - examine problems first raised by Nazi medical experimentation that remain difficult and relevant even today. The importance of these issues to contemporary bioethical disputes - particularly in the thorny areas of medical genetics, human experimentation, and euthanasia - are explored in detail and with sensitivity.
