1942 or 1943 black and white photo of three young Germans sitting near trees in what appears to be a park: a young man in a military uniform, a dark-haired young woman in civilian clothes, and a young man in civilian clothes. They are Hans Scholl, his sister Sophie Scholl, and their friend Christoph Probst, members of the White Rose Society who protested against the Nazi government. The Nazis executed them by guillotine on 22 February 1943.

On 22 February 1943, three young Germans, members of the White Rose Society -- Hans Scholl, Sophie Scholl, and Christoph Probst -- were guillotined by the Nazis for distributing leaflets speaking out against the crimes of the Third Reich. Their bravery, and their cause, will not be forgotten.

Tom Beauchamp III Obituary | Feb 19, 2025 | Rockville, MD Share memories & support the family

What a sad news. Back in 1983 I learned moral philosophy through his introduction, and I still think the book had the best format for young philosophy students. It was a joy to - much later - meet him and comment on his work in bioethics. #philsky

As Polio Survivors Watch Kennedy Confirmation, All Eyes Are on McConnell There are an estimated 300,000 polio survivors in the United States. For some, the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as health secretary is reviving their painful memories.

“Arthur L. Caplan, a bioethicist at NYU’s Grossman School of Medicine, who was infected when he was 5, recalls the children he befriended on the polio ward, some of whom went “down to the iron lung area, which was separate, and I never saw them again.” It is one reason he went into bioethics.”

Confronted with a brakeless, self-driving car with 4 passengers in it, Bentham regretted his work on utilitarianism.
