THE NUREMBURG DOCTORS' TRIAL: 60 YEARS LATER

We will also consider the role of military physicians in the "global war on terror," especially in prison settings. Dr. Edmund Pellegrino, current chairman of the President's Council on Bioethics and expert on medical ethics and history of medicine, will deliver the keynote address, "On Human Dignity."
