In this episode, we delve into the precarious nature of medical ethics through the lens of historical atrocities. Our guest, Dorothy Shaw, OC, MBChB, FRCSC, brings forward a thought-provoking discussion inspired by The Lancet Commission on medicine, Nazism, and the Holocaust: historical evidence, implications for today, teaching for tomorrow. Together, we explore the harrowing lessons from the past, examining how ethical boundaries were shattered during some of history's darkest periods.
