The Nazi hypothermia experiments and unethical research today.



"For nearly 50 years there has been debate about whether anyone should use information gained from Nazi experimentation on concentration camp victims. Those opposed to making any use of such data believe that it would tend to blunt the horror of what happened and thus in a sense dishonor those who died and offend the sensibilities of those who survived. According to this view, nothing should be seen as offsetting, even in the smallest way, the evil of the Nazi experiments."
