Caring Corrupted

 Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it.


In a 1948 speech to the House of Commons, Churchill paraphrased Santayana when he said 'Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it. '

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”–George Santayana, The Life of Reason, 1905.

We should pay attention to current events!

Looking at this current College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario web page, "Medical Assistance in Dying – Preliminary Consultation (http://policyconsult.cpso.on.ca/?page_id=13129)" distresses me, when I read it with the events of the 1930s and 1940s still fresh in my mind.

The  REMI Platinum Award-winning 56.07 min documentary film can be found on this page "Caring Corrupted: the Killing Nurses of the Third Reich (https://germanstudiescollaboratory.com/caring-corrupted-the-killing-nurses-of-the-third-reich/)" shows how medical professionals can be desensitised to killing!

Can't we learn from history?

Do we have to repeat the most vile?

Cultural problem?
