When Medicine Went Mad cover

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. "-Choice
