Description

In this year's Christmas BMJ 2016 podcasts, we’ve been discussing morality, compassion, truth. In this final one, it's time for war.

After the second world war, there was an attempt to bring a moral sense to conflict - and Julian Sheather, specialist adviser on ethics and human rights to the BMA, and author of the christmas editorial “medicine under fire” is worried about the retrenchment of those ideals.
