        What a bizarre thing this is: torture, but within medical limits MT @Atul_Gawande The torture could not proceed w/o medical supervision.

        It highlights the Foucauldian insight that medicine is as much a technology of discipline and as policing.

        Also highlights the special horror of torture: attack the body and mind, but keep them just on this side of life, the better to continue it.

        @jacremes wouldn't that go directly against the Hippocratic oath of physicians?

        @steph_pettigrew I mean, I think that was the @Atul_Gawande's point, but I'm not sure the oath is what we should be focused on.

        @steph_pettigrew I don't think "do no harm" is a particularly useful moral code. What is harm? Don't do it to whom?
