    • Arthur L. Caplan, um dos principais bioéticos dos EUA, e uma série extraordinária de peritos e sobreviventes dos campos de concentração analisam os problemas difíceis levantados pela medicina nazi. A relevância destes assuntos para as polémicas na bioética contemporânea - particularmente nas áreas sensíveis da genética médica, da experimentação humana e da eutanásia - são, aqui, explorados com grande detalhe e sensibilidade. Investiga profundamente as acções que deixaram uma marca indelével na história humana e que continuam a levantar dúvidas perturbadoras na ética biomédica...
