Pros And Cons Of Nazi Medical Experiments

During World War II, the Nazi’s performed some very brutal experiments on the Jews in the concentration camps. The experiments performed could cause painful injuries or in most cases death. Many people have asked if it was ethical to use the Nazi data, many say it is ethical other don’t agree with them. The Nazi medical experiments have been a big controversy in the world since the experiments were discovered. Many people have debated over the use of them if they should be used to grow the medical field in numerous places , like hypothermia. Is using the Nazi data ethical or, unethical; and are the people that support using the data right or, are the people that say it is unethical to use the data right. To find out if it was ethical and how

Dr. Benjamin Freedman, a bioethicist, stated, "We are talking of the use of the data, not participation in these heinous studies,not replication of atrocities. The wrongs perpetrated were monstrous; those wrongs are over and done. How could the provenance of the data serve to prohibit their use"(Dyal ). Dr. Benjamin Freedman is right we are not conducting the experiments again, we are only using the data to discover treatments and help people. We can not take back the suffering the Jews had to deal with but we can make their suffering worth something. In 1985, 1000 people died from exposure to the cold. Many doctors, researchers, and some US military members saved a lot lives using the data from the Nazi hypothermia experiments.(Moylan). Other reason we should use the data is that the data didn’t do the experiments it was just the outcome. That is why we should use the Nazi experiment

Some researchers and doctors say that by using the data it will promote dishonorable medicine. And that we would be encouraging other doctors to conduct experiments to And by using the data it’s like people are supporting the way the Nazi researchers got the data. Many of the research can not be used because, Nazi researchers failed to put age, nutritious level, and the state of being of the victim was during the experiment. Dr. Jay Katz said “They're of no scientific value" (Dyal 15). Because when the Jews were experimented on they were very weak and usually sick. Sick and weak people do not have enough strength to battle a disease or withstand a drastic temperature changes. Most of the people in this country are healthy and have good nutrition. Also the Nazi doctors experimented mostly on kids that might have had undeveloped immune systems. Sick and weak people do not have enough strength to battle a disease or withstand a drastic temperature changes. That’s how the data can’t help us, so it is practically
