Nazi Medical Experiments
“She spoke to me in an angels voice,” Ellias remembered. The Jewish doctor urged her, “You are young and can live; your child cannot live.” The doctor gave Ellias morphine and she injected and killed her baby. Doctor Mengele returned the following day. “He didn't want me,” Ellias recounts, “He wanted the child, but he couldn't find the corpse among the pile of corpses outside the barracks,” (Broder). The Nazi party ruled over Germany in World War Two and horrific experiments were performed under their supervision. In the concentration camps doctors would use the prisoners to further nazi agenda and save the master race. Even though Nazi experiments brought advances in scientific knowledge, they were conducted with such a gruesome disregard for human life, that the harm vastly outweighs the advantages.
TRANAITION, German scientists performed many human dissections, but not all doctors were comfortable with what was happening. Johann Paul Kremer, an anatomist, reserved patience for dissection at Auschwitz and sent 10,717 known prisoner to death …show more content…
Doctor Sigmund Rascher conducted a series of experiments to find how long before a pilate would freeze in the ocean. Out of around 300 victims, who were placed in icy water and monitored from two to five hours, more than 80 died (Palmer). Doctor Rascher’s results were helpful in treatment for hypothermia and the making of suit for swimming in cold temperatures. However, it is probable that these results could have found in more humane ways. Some do argue that Rascher’s precise and detailed notes are priceless and irreplaceable (Palmer). Nazis tested antibiotics by infecting a cut on a prisoner with gangrene. They would then try to use the antibiotics to remove the disease. These had good results that were beneficial to science, but they can be easily duplicated under more humane conditions
