Caplan reports on a May 1989 conference, sponsored by the Center for\nBiomedical Ethics at the University of Minnesota, that examined the meaning of\nthe Holocaust for contemporary bioethics. Five themes were discussed: the\nrole that mainstream medicine and science played in the creation of the Nazi\nstate; what German scientists and physicians thought and did in the name of\neugenics and euthanasia; the moral rationales science and medicine used to\njustify involvement with genocide, euthanasia, and racism; contemporary use of\nNazi data from concentration camp research; and the appropriate use of\nmetaphors and analogies to the Nazi era in contemporary bioethical debates. \nConference participants included Caplan, Robert Proctor, Benno Muller-Hill,\nJay Katz, Ruth Macklin, Robert Pozos, and three survivors of Nazi experiments:\nSusan Seiler Vigorito, Eva Kor, and Robert Berger.
