foul ScienceOn Monday, November 15th, 1982 the New York Times published an article authorise Out of Death, a Zest for Life. The title caught my eye because it seemed to be the scarcely one that didnt have to do with politics, the economy, or terrorism. The author, Nadine Brozan, wrote this article found on an interview with a woman named Dr. Gisella Perl. Dr. Perl was a Hungarian gynecologist and a survivor of the Holocaust from one of its well-nigh famous finis camps Auschwitz. As a prisoner, she was allowed to work as a doctor who was force to aid Dr. Josef Mengele. Dr. Mengele was a man who practiced very bizarre, unethical aesculapian experiments on the prisoners of Auschwitz and he eventually became known as the doctor of last or the angel of death. Dr, Perl said, One of the greatest crimes in Auschwitz was to be pregnant. (Brozan C 20) Not only did Dr. Mengele perform horrible experiments on pregnant women, still he also preformed tests on handicapped prisoners and twins (which he is most famous for).Dr. Mengele tricked Dr. Perl into sending the pregnant woman to him. He said that they would go to another camp for better nutrition....I learned that they were all pull backn to the explore block to be used as guinea pigs, and then the dickens lives would be thrown in the crematorium. (Brozan C 20) As far as sanitation was concerned at Auschwitz, there really wasnt any. It is a fact that Dr. Mengeles hospital had no beds, no operating tools, not even bandages. (Brozan C 20) When compared to the hospitals in the United States, I feel that a hospital in Auschwitz does not deserve the title, hospital. Apparently, Dr. Perl felt the same way. She took it upon herself to dumbfound the women held prisoner in the camp, and some how made them deliver their babies prematurely (Brozan C 20). Hundreds of times I had premature deliveries. No one will ever know what it meant to me to destroy those babies, but if I had not done it, both mother and child w ould have been cruelly murdered. (Brozan C 20) It really makes me cogitate how horrible it must have been for Dr. Perl. A very powerful name taken from the article has her swaning, God, you owe me a life, a living baby. For her to say this every time she enters the delivery rooms makes it difficult to imagine the immense amounts of babies she delivered that did not possess a life that had even gotten the opportunity to take a breath of air.
