| "How
can such a rich and impressive history be incorporated
into the world of modern clinical medicine and corporate
culture? What can the history of medicine offer to current
debates about cloning, euthanasia, and other contentious
issues? Probably every medical museum faces these questions
to a greater or lesser extent. In Berlin, the unification
of Germany with its subsequent overhaul and reorganisation
of almost every public institution in the eastern part
has aggravated these problems. It is, therefore, of
interest to explore the ideas and solutions that are
envisaged for the Berlin Medical Historical Museum"

| Living Forensics
- that part of forensic sciences dealing with the application
of science to the just resolution of legal issues in
cases involving living victims, as opposed to forensic
pathology, which focuses upon deceased victims. Living
forensics concerns itself with living victims of rape,
drug and alcohol addiction, domestic violence (spousal,
child, and elder abuse), nonfatal assaults, automobile
and pedestrian accidents, suicide attempts, work- related
injuries, disputed paternity, incest, medical malpractice,
police and corrections custody abuse, drug and food
tampering" (McNamara, 1987).
Clinical
Forensic Medicine - the medical specialty which applies
the principles and practices of medicine to the elucidation
of questions in judicial proceedings for the protection
of the individual's legal rights prior to death"
(Eckert et. al, 1986, p. 182).
