Lessons Learned from the
Holocaust"
January 14, 2011
10 am - 4 pm
The Potomac Institute for Policy Studies (www.potomacinstitute.org) in conjunction with the
Capital Consortium for Neuroscience: Ethical, Legal and Social Issues (CCNELSI)
(www.ccnelsi.com) is pleased to present a special
one-day symposium and panel discussion, Use and Misuse of Neurology and
Psychiatry: Lessons Learned from the Holocaust, to be held on Friday,
January 14, 2011, from 10 am - 4 pm, at the Potomac Institute for Policy
Studies, 901 N. Stuart Street, Arlington, VA.
Advances in genetics and neuroscience have enabled
considerable progress in neurology and psychiatry. However, such progress also
incurs questions, issues and potential problems. Thus, it is critical to
re-examine the past, in order to assess the present and work to
prevent pragmatic and ethical transgressions in the future. The misuses of
genetic and neuro-psychiatric science reached a nadir in the events that led to
and culminated in the Holocaust, and these provide valuable object lessons with
which to address and prevent potential neuroethical risks and harms. The January
14 program will address these important issues, with input from leading
experts.
Speakers include:
Edmund D. Pellegrino, MD, Professor, Georgetown
University, Washington, DC, and Former Chair, President’s Council on Bioethics
(2005-2009)
Patricia Heberer, PhD, Historian, US Holocaust Memorial
Museum, Washington, DC
James Giordano, PhD, Director of the Center for
Neurotechnology Studies, Potomac Institute for Policy Studies, Washington, DC;
