Role of Health Professionals in TortureI don't support torture. Supporting a country that uses its 'health' professionals as part of a system of torture feels like supporting fascism. Heil Obama.
Health professionals played central roles in developing, im-
plementing and providing justification for torture.
Health professionals in the Office of Medical Services and
psychologist contractors engaged in designing and monitoring
harmful interrogation techniques. Such medical participation
in torture is a clear violation of medical ethics. Furthermore,
health professionals were complicit in selecting and then ra-
tionalizing these abusive methods whose safety and efficacy
in eliciting accurate information have no valid basis in sci-
ence. The severe physical and psychological pain and endur-
ing harms associated with these techniques make it evident that
they constitute torture and ill treatment. Monitoring of
interrogation techniques by medical professionals to determine their
effectiveness uses detainees as human subjects without their
consent, and thus also approaches unlawful experimentation.
