An ethical question concerning one Dr. Mengele, the Nazi doctor called "The Angel of Death", who tortured untold thousands as he "experimented" on live humans. His experiments included the dissection of live infants; the castration of boys and men without the use of an anesthetic; and the administering of high-voltage electric shocks to women inmates under the auspices of testing their endurance. He kept meticulous records. The question is, if Mengele had discovered the cancer cure as a result of his torture experiments and the results were buried in those records of horror should we have used it? A thought provoking essay right here.
