This doctor saw the opportunity to rise on the world scene and exercise power. Of course, he in his own mind would be protecting the people from wide spread death and suffering. (God save us from leaders with good intensions)

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

C. S. Lewis

Thanks, I was trying to think of that C.S. Lewis quote.
