A book based on presentations made two years or so ago at the Holocaust Museum of Houston has been released, by the name of Medicine After the Holocaust. I have a chapter on assisted suicide, which is a written version of my presentation at a public debate–link below–against Compassion and Choices’s lawyer, Kathryn Tucker. (Her essay is also included.) The book has chapters by such luminaries as Leon Kass on “A More Perfect Human: The Promise and Perils of Modern Science.” The bioethicist Art Caplan writes on Nazi ethics and bioethics, and geneticist James Watson opines on “Genetics and Eugenics: A Personal Odyssey.” It’s pricey, but weighty. Check it out.
Also, if anyone is interested in my lecture given at the Holocaust Museum, you can see it here.

Good lecture. I’m so appreciative of your work, Mr. Smith. You help give me words to explain these ideas- and words are so important!
