Shoah survivor to speak on Nazi doctors
Bioethics topic of March 6 Maimonides Society gathering 
A child survivor of the Holocaust who went on to become a physician and professor at the UCLA School of Medicine will discuss "Nazi Medical Research and Bioethics" at the March 6 gathering of the Maimonides Society.
Dr. Alfred Pasternak will speak to Portland-area health care professionals at a dinner meeting at the Mittleman Jewish Community Center.

Pasternak is the author of "Inhuman Research, Medical Experiments in German Concentration Camps." The Hungarian Academy of Sciences Web site (www.mta.hu) reports that Pasternak said he wrote the book "to erect a memorial to his loved ones, 96 in all, whom he had lost in the Holocaust, … as well as (to) warn the medical profession about the ease with which doctors could lose their bearings amid inhuman principles gaining ground around them." [emphasis mine]

Is there room in the Rose Garden for another Bush? I would like to see some White Roses planted there, myself. Here is a view from Kathryn Jean Lopez, Editor of National Review Online, on the prospects of another Bush in our future. Maybe nobody told her
(or the attendees) about what really happened in Florida.
Bush talked about the dignity of the individual, hitting hot-button issues including abortion and racial preferences. As one fan in the audience noted: “He touched plenty of third rails, just to show that you can and still succeed. His comments about abortion and right and wrong reminded everyone of his principled support of life from Schiavo to parental notification and consent. He relished telling the tale of his move to dismantle racial preferences. And he stuck to his guns through several tough questions about immigration even though he knew it wouldn't please some of his audience.”
If there was one issue that dampened enthusiasm for Bush among those gathered, it was immigration, where the former governor seemed to criticize conservative assimilation-policy tendencies. “He lost half the room on immigration,” one Beltwayer noted. But even with that, Governor Bush presented himself as a conservative executive –- who governored as a conservative. As one attendee noted, “Like him or love him (about the range of opinion in the room as far as I could sense), he's got charisma and stature and the oratorical skills of a natural leader. He's also clearly getting in fighting shape and has a smile that is as easy and natural as his deep south Florida tan.”
Third Time’s a Charm?... Jeb Bush rallies conservatives.

We certainly need more voices like Dr. Pasternak's. There is a good deal of information about Nazi doctors on the 'Net, but text and photos do not tell a story the way a man can. I hope some Freeper near Portland will be able to attend his lecture and give us a report.
