This volume examines problems first raised by Nazi medical experimentation that remain difficult and relevant even today. The relevance of these issues to contemporary bioethical disputes are explored in detail.

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.

Many of the essays are excellent: informative, persuasive, and foundational to any debate about the Holocaust"s relevance to contemporary bioethical concerns. ice>
