Write a well-organized Essay of approximately 1,000 words which is responsive to the following questions: How does Lifton describe the slippery slope from sterilization to euthanasia to Auschwitz?
Differentiating between Nazi doctors and prisoner doctors, how does Lifton reveal the role of doctors in the practice of genocide.
In your essay, make specific references to the text. (Students are required to briefly integrate references to the following articles
(1) Cohen, Adam. "Four Decades After Milgram, We're Still Willing to Inflict Pain." New York Times 29 December 2008: A24, and
(2) "Medically Assisted Torture." Editorial. New York Times 9 April 2009: A26.)
Do not misinterpret the two assigned New York Times articles as arguments for excusing the diabolical behavior of the Nazi doctors.
