Lecture Description

Medicine is a social activity. Physicians make decisions regarding patient care, goals of research, and the nature of medical education based upon the prevailing social, economic, religious, and public policy views of the society in which they live. An example of the interplay of medicine with society is found in the medical origins of the European Holocaust. They can be identified in the development of Social Darwinism, the resurgence of interest in Mendelian Genetics, and Eugenics in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Physicians played a major role in Nazi-coordinated mass murder. This historical story has major implications for how contemporary medicine will grapple with the role of physicians in police interrogation and torture in Iraq and Guantanamo, and how we address the medical aspects of the threat of homeland terrorism
