Summary:

More than sixty years after the terrible crimes and grossly unethical
practices of Nazi medicine occurred, the research data from that
period is still being cited and used and unethical medical research
is still being conducted. This text is an investigation of how the
German medical and scientific community, the most advanced and
sophisticated of the 19th and early 20th century, arrived at a point
at which the discipline lent inspiration and an aura of scientific
legitimacy to acts of state-sponsored racial cleansing and abhorrent
human experimentation. The question under investigation is whether
the research data from the experiments should be used in contemporary
research. Central to the argument is an oral history where 32
physicians and scientists currently in practice with research
qualifications have responded to a series of questions related to the
use of Nazi data. The conclusions are enlightening and thought
provoking bringing one to question the relevance of the place of
ethics in modern medical and scientific research. The book will be
useful to students of bioethics, medical and scientific researchers
and Holocaust historians.
