David K. Urion, MD, FAAN is a child neurologist at Boston Children's Hospital, where he is also co-chair of the Ethics Advisory Committee. He received his MD from the Stanford University School of Medicine. He is a member of the Center for Medicine after the Holocaust, and his research engages how neuropsychiatry in Weimar and National Socialist Germany supported the Child Euthanasia and Aktion T4 Euthanasia programs and thus did much to create the mechanisms for the Holocaust. Bioethical areas of interest include limits of parental discretion and the ethical aspects of n=1 "bespoke" therapy trials. He has received the Child Neurology Society Blue Bird Circle Award as outstanding training director, and the President's award of the Chilean Society for Child and Adolescent Neurology and Psychiatry for his educational contributions to Child Neurology training in Chile.
