About this title

Synopsis

America's Military Biomedical Complex traces how laws and ethical codes have co-evolved with America's military science pursuits. It vividly illustrates how the drive for scientific and military superiority has led to transformational achievements in medicine and science, demonstrating how these endeavors have shifted the moral compass of government and society. Along with comprehensive historical analysis, the book introduces the concept of jus in praeparatione bellum (justice in war preparations) and recommends policies that balance national security priorities with fundamental principles of justice and human dignity.
