Why Doctors Tortured: The Unsettling Notebook from Tuol Sleng
-
Lu par :

De :
The notebook found in Tuol Sleng in 1978 recorded human experiments on at least seventeen detainees and was deliberately preserved, forcing a confrontation with how physicians used medical skill to harm. If international law after World War II spelled out clear prohibitions, why did trained doctors continue to perform and document torture under institutional sanction?
In this episode, we explore that preserved record and the wider pattern across the twentieth century that links physicians, institutions, and state-sanctioned harm, asking how legal and ethical protections failed to stop medicalized brutality.
