AUDIO: Justifying racism and eugenics in the name of good doctoring -- The long hand of Nazi germany.

This program from the ABC's Health Report is a horrific story of complicity and diabolical consensus which tags the extent that racist and eugenic views can be embedded into sectors of any population and then rationalised  and excused even years after they were found top be "ethically wrong". 

The Health Report: lack of medical ethics - from the 19th century to Nazi Germany
This program is a very disturbing look at the lack of ethics in the history of the health profession. Medical historian Professor Paul Weindling takes us through a journey starting in the 19th century right through to Nazi Germany and the crimes committed by the medical profession during that era.
