abstract="This article examines why U.S. healthcare professionals became involved in &quot;enhanced interrogation,&quot; or torture, during the War on Terror. A number of factors are identified including a desire on the part of these professionals to defend their country and fellow citizens from future attack; having their activities approved and authorized by legitimate command structures; financial incentives; and wanting to prevent serious harm from occurring to prisoners/detainees. The factors outlined here suggest that psychosocial factors can influence health professionals' ethical decision-making.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
