This was a bit different than what I was expecting, but was still good. I liked that the book included essays written by Holocaust survivors and their opinions, especially Eva Kor, who has been a very controversial figure.

The most valuable insight I gained from reading the book is that not all Jewish people have the same view on using the data generated from Nazi experiments. The rationalizations for the positions held were fascinating.

My main frustration with the book was with some of the show more editing. There were a few too many misspellings and missing punctuation to make for uncomplicated reading for me. show less

Repeatedly, the developed world has realized that we Westerners live 'in hard times' and has needed a philosophy for all challenges, old and new. However, the developing world ALSO faces existential challenges that the developed world had hoped to escape through technological innovation and social implementation. At every level of social, economic, and technological development these perennial questions about ethics are shown to pertain to core questions about how one lives and ought to live.

Perhaps I liked this book because I agreed with the author so much. I found myself agreeing out loud with the book. It was written during the previous presidential administration which declared many thing forbidden. I've always been interested in bioethics. I'd like to see what new topics would be chosen for a current book. I know I would like to see a mental healthcare reform.
