Before, during, and after WWII, Nazi’s conducted many medical experiments on the Gypsies, Slavs (Large group of Ethnolinguistic in Europe), and Jews they held in concentration camps. Why were they driven to use humans for their experiments? Tyson says, “Eager to find out how best to save German pilots forced to eject at high altitude...”. Nazis used prisoners and other unwilling patients to test their theories. “Several Of the seventy or more medical-research projects conducted by the Nazi between the fall of 1939 and the spring of 1945 were conducted at Auschwitz (“Auschwitz Medical Experimentation). Well over two hundred doctors were involved in the operation of concentration camps, conduction’ Selektionen’ medical services, and research.” (Williams). Among the two hundred scientists Karl Brandt, Hitler’s personal physician, performed studies such as high altitude, freezing, poison, and many more. “Some of these experiments had legitimate scientific purposes, though the methods that were used violated the canons of medical ethics.
