The American Medical Association Code of Ethics already bans the involvement of doctors in Capital Punishment.
The AMA Code of Ethics also has a chapter on the involvement of doctors in Torture.
Apparently, doctors are currently involved in the torture of captives of US forces.
Here's a question for the intarwebs:
Are there AMA sanctions for violations of the AMA Code of ethics for doctors working under the Aegis of the US military?
If so, would involving yourself in situation where somebody was tortured be sanctionable?
EDIT: As Cy points out, membership in professional organizations for doctors is optional.
This stems from one of Andrew Sullivan's posts here.
