Doctors From Hell: The Horrific Account of Nazi Experiments on Humans


         The second book I have been reading for my senior paper is entitled Doctors from Hell: The Horrific Account of Nazi Experiments on Humans and is centered around some of the atrocities that occurred by Nazi scientists upon innocent Jews, homosexuals, and political opponents. It paints a repugnant and very real portrait of science at its absolute worst. Admittedly, the book can be hard to read at times, but it has a very real message about the indiscriminate slaughter of countless innocents. I had started this book believing that my senior paper would focus on the ethical aspect of science in the modern world. This obviously is one of the most relevant examples that would fit nicely into that type of paper. I am not sure if I will pursue a more scientific route, a route which this book would not particularly fit in with as many of the Nazi experiments had no scientific basis for their research as well as no hypothesis. For example, it was common to sew twins’ skin together to see if they could coordinate as Siamese twins or strike children with hammers to see how much punishment they could withstand before falling into unconsciousness. Suffice to say that if I decide to go the ethical route this book would help me form a strong argument, whereas scientifically it would prove less powerful but remaining useful.

  1. If you're interested in medical ethics, this seems pretty extreme. This sounds like a powerful and disturbing books, but keep in mind that the senior paper needs to be more of a current arguments paper and less of a history paper.
