註釋From Ardor Scribendi, publisher of mainly medical books on dermatology but also on matters that transcend it, comes this massive and thorough review of a horrible subject: the systematic use and abuse of human beings as guinea pigs throughout the world from pre-Enlightenment times to the present day. Using the field of dermatology, "the most important in the history of unethical experimentation on human beings, " Weyers (Death of Medicine in Nazi Germany), a dermatologist, painstakingly presents and discusses in depth-and in lucid and compelling prose-larger issues in medicine and society, such as Christianity's impeding of medical research for more than a thousand years; the rise of the idea of "patient's rights" in the Enlightenment; the development of the Nuremberg Code in 1947 regarding the ethical treatment of patients; and the rise in awareness of the ways minorities have been used as lab rats.
