AMA protests award given to alleged Nazi euthanasia doctor

The American Medical Association in June called on a German association of internists to withdraw its recent award to former Nazi SS member and alleged war criminal Dr. Hans-Joachim Sewering.

The 25,000-member association, Berufsverband Deutscher Internisten, awarded the Guenther-Budelmann medal to Dr. Sewering in March for his contributions to "freedom of the medical profession," BDI President Dr. Wolfgang Wesiack, said in a statement. Dr. Sewering joined the Nazi SS in 1933 and from 1942-45 allegedly participated in a euthanasia program at Schonbrunn Sanitarium near Dachau, say historians, Nazi hunters and human rights activists.

About 900 children with disabilities were sent under doctors' orders to a nearby "healing center" where they were killed in the name of eugenics. The only surviving physician's order from the time bears Dr. Sewering's signature.

"The decision to give this prestigious award to someone who is alleged to have used medicine for harm is an affront to all physicians who are bound by our profession's most basic ethical principle -- first, do no harm," wrote Edward L. Langston, MD, then chair of the AMA Board of Trustees, in a June 4 letter to Dr. Wesiack. continues here

I would hope Edward L. Langston, that the phrase “first, do no harm” applies to all doctors not just losers in a war, perhaps then abortionists the length and breadth of your country, could be stripped of awards and titles, given that they kill en-masse generally healthy children. Or is it all part of this abominable on-going witch-hunt, part of the global chase to enact retribution upon the vanquished, whilst mass murderers from other wars walk free, hypocrites the lot of you. 14
