What happened to the moral integrity of physicians during the Nazi period

/in /by

The moral atrocities against Jews by the Nazi’s prior to and during WWII are well documented. But the policies of Hitler and other leaders of the Nazi party were carried out by those who, in other circumstances, would be considered “normal” people. Physicians who had thriving practices where they cared for patients prior to the war, for example, were part of horrific medical experimentation conducted at prison and death camps. How can something like this happen, where individuals – even “good” people – don’t stand up for what is morally unethical? Was this some type of brain washing? An overnight switch in cultural thinking? A slow slide down a dark pit? Something else? What might you have done to uphold moral integrity as a physician or a hospital administrator during that time? Is there anything happening today, albeit maybe not as drastic, that concerns you (nationally or globally)?

Write a position paper.

/in /by

You are to write a position paper. The topics for the papers need to come from chapter readings (9-10) (thus, you must read before you start to write). For a position paper, you are to take up an argument for or against a particular topic. The topic is to be chosen from that week’s readings and is at your discretion. However, I urge you to choose something that interests you.

You may think that position papers are opinion papers, they are not! Position papers are about writing well-articulated thoughts on a topic that is backed up with facts, statistics, and in some cases, peer-reviewed scientific journal articles. When those items are not relevant, such as in a presidential race, you need to support your views with an example that helps others understand your point of view. In many ways, you are not only trying to show the reading of your position on a topic but help them understand why you have a particular position. Here are a few great resources to help you understand what you are writing:

Using John Corvino and Robert George as your primary sources,
investigate the main arguments in favor of and against allowing same
sex partners to engage in sexual relationships and allowing same sex
marriage. What arguments do you find most convincing, and what ones
are least persuasive? If same sex relationships should be accepted by a society, does that imply that all discrimination against same-sex couples
should be outlawed (e.g. tax laws, immigration, adoption, inheritance,
etc.)? Why or why not? Ensure that you support your position with
evidence.
