THE PRICE OF SCIENCE WITHOUT MORAL CONSTRAINTS: German and American Medicine Before DNA and Today
In "The Price of Science without Moral Constraints: German and American Medicine Before DNA and Today," Robert Pollack examines the ethical failures of the eugenics movement in early 20th-century Germany and the United States, which led to horrific outcomes during the Nazi regime. Pollack draws parallels between these historical events and contemporary issues in genetic medicine, emphasizing the importance of maintaining ethical standards in scientific research. He argues that without moral constraints, scientific advancements can be misused, leading to devastating consequences, and calls for a renewed commitment to ethical responsibility in the field of genetics.
