Editor’s Note: In an educational debate in the Nov. 2 issue of the British Medical Journal, Jonathan I. Groner, MD, suggests that doctors should not be involved in executions. He argues that execution by lethal injection is tantamount to the medical charade used in Nazi Germany to kill handicapped people. If doctors were not involved in this process, he suggests that capital punishment might have ended in the United States. Medscape’s Laurie Barclay interviews Dr. Groner to learn more about his perspective.
He is the Trauma Medical Director of Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, and an assistant professor of clinical surgery at the College of Medicine and Public Health at Ohio State University.
