Abstract

Questions about our potential to commit atrocities like those in the Nazis’ human subjects research may be unwelcome to medical professionals who are comfortable in today’s society. Our reliance on medical professionals’ advocacy for vulnerable people and vulnerable values, and on informed consent and institutional approval for research, may not necessarily prevent abuse of human subjects. For example, real research is being conducted under the guise of quality improvement, for which informed consent is not required, and patients may unknowingly suffer as a result.
