So, this has actually been one of those things often claimed, you may have heard of it or maybe even thought it yourself (I certainly had the thought as an edgy teen). Stuff like "For all the horrors, they probably did make some progress with experiments in concentration camps" or similar things.

Now, beside the point of it being unacceptable to do so ethically - the stuff done there was also quite useless. I currently can't do the work of searching for and gathering all the sources again, but to my memory: the cruelty and dismissal of humanity made the "results" of those "studies" mostly useless garbage, saying nothing at all worthwhile for science, and being clearly tainted ideologically.

Because, while you may think that in some "ideal" world, you could have neutral research on unwilling humans, the reality has always been, that the conditions needed to get humans to do such experiments on other humans, necessitate the kind of ideological distortions, that mostly make the results useless in the end. There's simply not enough psychopaths that are also willing to do proper, frustrating, hard-work-necessitating, non-self-aggrandising research - and to get non-psychopaths to do it, you need an ideology that ultimately removes their neutrality and the neutrality of the research.

The only things I remember being deemed "useful" and "properly" done from a scientific perspective in the recovered "studies" were things like "lethality of grenades by proximity to the explosion" - something that is questionable to begin with in value and that can also be determined with sensors of different kinds - as well as "effects of massive hypothermia and frostbites" - which as far as I remember basically just confirmed what has been estimated from case studies in a broader way, as well as animal studies (the latter, admittedly, have their own legitimate controversy).

well, he is correct.

That is what among other things, ethics is supposed to do. hold back science from doing things that would be bad. you know?

Can we insist that he put his money where his mouth is and be the first of his own victims er I mean test subjects

Guess this guy Ioves the experiments the Imperial Japanese Army did on Chinese people.

Could be that Dr. He has a picture of Dr Mengele sitting at his table...

why don't you back it up with a source

for some reason no one saw my last video comment, hopefully this one actually works

our scientific understanding of exactly how many punches the mean baby can withstand is being held back by ethics

Well it's true

What a shame you fuckers aren't allowed to kill off humanity with yet another experiment gone bad.

Do you want vault-tec? Cuz this is how you get vault-tec.
