Cardiac Growth and Regeneration
Mammalian cardiac muscle, unlike that in amphibians, reptiles and the mammalian atrium, cannot regenerate after injury, and the mechanism for the irreversible blockage of mitosis in these monocytes during early development is still not understood. This book attempts to study the mechanisms that control the cardiac muscle cell cycle so that treatments to initiate repair of the myocardium can be designed. An ideal model would allow study of cardiac muscle cells in the intact heart in the biochemical state they were in during foetal growth, when they were actively dividing. This volume gathers the most current information dealing with the regenerative potential of cardiac muscle in the vertebrate heart.
Medicine after the Holocaust
Rubenfeld and the contributors to this collection posit that German physicians betrayed the Hippocratic Oath when they chose knowledge over wisdom, the state over the individual, a führer over God, and personal gain over professional ethics.
Human Subjects Research Regulation
The current framework for the regulation of human subjects research emerged largely in reaction to the horrors of Nazi human experiment, revealed at the Nuremburg trials, and the Tuskegee syphilis study, conducted by US government researchers from 1932 to 1972. This framework combining elements of paternalism with efforts to preserve individual autonomy, has remained fundamentally unchanged for decades Yet, as this book documents, it has significant flaws-including its potential to burden important research, overprotect some subjects and inadequately protect others, generate inconsistent results, and lag behind developments in how research is conducted. Invigorated by the US government's fir...
Human Subjects Research after the Holocaust
“An engaging, compelling and disturbing confrontation with evil ...a book that will be transformative in its call for individual and collective moral responsibility." – Michael A. Grodin, M.D., Professor and Director, Project on Medicine and the Holocaust, Elie Wiesel Center for Judaic Studies, Boston University Human Subjects Research after the Holocaust challenges you to confront the misguided medical ethics of the Third Reich personally, and to apply the lessons learned to contemporary human subjects research. While it is comforting to believe that Nazi physicians, nurses, and bioscientists were either incompetent, mad, or few in number, they were, in fact, the best in the world at th...
Nazi Ideology and Ethics
This volume documents the still-rare encounter of moral-philosophical, historiographic and medical-ethical research on National Socialism, and looks at the ethical aspects of the National Socialist ideology, as well as at the moral convictions of National Socialist perpetrators, some of whom acted as “perpetrators with a good conscience”. It furthermore discusses questions such as the content and rationale of Nazi race ethics, the “euthanasia” killings and the Nazi ethics of racial warfare and the role of the SS as the vanguard of the National Socialist race state, the moral conditioning of Nazi perpetrators and their self-exoneration strategies after the defeat of Nazism, and German...
History and Theory of Human Experimentation
Despite having been revised and criticised over the years, the Declaration of Helsinki remains one of the most important and internationally known ethics codes worldwide. Yet we know relatively little about its historical origins or about the prolonged revision process which accompanied this "living document". The chapters presented in this volume look at the history and theory of human experimentation, assess the role of the Helsinki Declaration in an international context, and illustrate specific issues about the history and practice of research ethics through a number of case studies in the United States, Asia and Europe. To this day, the Declaration is one of the most important landmarks...

John W. Thompson
John W. Thompson: Psychiatrist in the Shadow of the Holocaust is the biography of a doctor whose revulsion at Nazi human experiments prompted him to seek a humane basis for physician-patient relations. As a military-scientific intelligence officer in 1945, Thompson was the first to name "medical war crimes" as a category for prosecution. His investigations laid the groundwork for the Nuremberg medical trials and for the novel idea of "informed consent." Yet, Thompson has remained a little-known figure, despite his many scientific, literary, and religious connections. This book traces Thompson's life from his birth in Mexico, through his studies at Stanford, Edinburgh, and Harvard, and his se...
