Pamela, I think you may be letting the Doctors off too easy.
Before I accept "forced", I want to see evidence of any "resistance". Did they use the tools available to them in the chain of command? I suspect this is going to turn out to be an example of the Milgram Experimental Paradigm. Essentially, they started out as doctors and ended up cooked frogs. But whaddooeyeno. nick Nicholas S.

Yes, I understand what you're saying about the other issues, Arlo. This is an ugly moment in a civilized country. And today comes a report from a group of doctors in ethics (IMAP) that tells us that doctors and other medical workers were forced to aid in torturing political prisoners. They were told that since "these people aren't sick" the docs weren't violating their Hippocratic oath "to do no harm." I presume these doctors were also in the military, and would face court martial if they refused. Horrible. Just horrible. ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com
