French 'medical ethics'
35 years ago, friends who were applying to medical school told me about an interview at which they were asked, "if Adolph Hitler were drowning, would you save him?" 35 years later, France has arrived at that level. The following question was asked on a French medical school exam by one Professor Christophe Oberlin: "To what extent does it constitute a perpetual crime (war crime, crime against humanity, genocide crime)?" – in regards to the deaths of 22 members of the same family in a bombing during Operation Cast Lead.As you might imagine, there's been a lot of outrage about the question in the French Jewish community, and a lot of apologies from the medical school in question and its university - Bichat Hospital Faculty of Medicine in Paris' Diderot University. Curiously, however, I see no word of any apology from Professor Oberlin, nor of any disciplinary action being taken against him.
Hmmm.
