I can never think of a subject title.

Yesterday we received a lecture from Dr. Wasser about the Nuremburg trials, and the 23 doctors that were charged... It was very intriguing, and it made me think from the doctor's point of view, and quite disturbingly enough, the doctors had some valid points. The first one was that yes, they did do terrible things to people, resulting in thousands of deaths, but no, it was not a crime. Why? Because, well, where in the law did it say that it was? Which, truth was, no where did it actually say that what the doctors did was a crime. The prosecution teams biggest challenge was proving that what they actually did was a crime. I just thought that was amazing...

After the lecture we went to the Hannover animal testing facilities. We saw thousands of lab rats (they have around 20,000 total), as well as dogs, cats, pigs, and sheep. We saw the operating rooms that the doctors used also. Very interesting stuff. We also got to 'suit out' a couple times! I enjoyed it. It was fun!
