Summary:
Lecture delivered by Richard B. Gunderman, MD, PhD (Chancellor's Professor of Radiology, Pediatrics, Medical Education, Philosophy, Liberal Arts, Philanthropy, and Medical Humanities and Health Studies, Indiana University) on April 14, 2022. Eugenicists in the United States, building on the scientific breakthroughs of Charles Darwin and others, aimed to protect the human gene pool by preventing so-called “inferior” human beings from reproducing. What they unleashed, however, was a terrible tide of dehumanization and inhumanity, both in Indiana and in Europe. The lessons of their efforts, though difficult to contemplate, must never be forgotten. This lecture is part of the Indiana University Center for Bioethics of the Indiana University Center for Bioethics Dr. William S. Silvers Holocaust, Genocide, and Contemporary Bioethics Lectureship and was co-sponsored by the John Shaw Billings History of Medicine Society and the Ruth Lilly Medical Library. The purpose of the Silvers Lectureship is to offer space annually for physicians and other community leaders to consider the impact of their work and apply the ethical lessons of the Holocaust. The lectureship strives to focus healthcare workers on the morality of their actions and to ground contemporary conflicts in the lessons of history.
