Most people i'm sure "try".  The expierments on it afterall do have people object.  It's just they are generally coaxed otherwise.

While such expierments involved WORSE negative impacts on those involved who are totally innocent, for no perceviable goal.

True, as am I. I won't know for sure whether I am able to hold on to those principles or not if I end up with a difficult choice, so that's all I can say at this point.

Unlike this situation.   Where the act was very minimal, it was done with minors who committed serious crimes and violated probation, with the goal to make sure these people don't screw up their lives as adults.

You can have the best intentions (those are what the road to hell is paved with) and still end up making things far worse with your methods. I'm not a believer of the "ends justify the means" - line of thinking, at least not in this case.

The comparison you draw is quite drastically different.  "As you don't eat men their is no point in butchering them."

The scale might be, but the core issue is the same - whether people would or could do something that's against their beliefs when coerced by the current authority. Most people do, some don't. 

Here there was a point, and it's something that wasn't fatal, and really should never be fatal... hence the nurse being on hand.

But it is, and it always can be. A single punch can kill a human being when the circumstances are right, and you don't have to be a martial arts expert or to attack a dying human being to do it.

Not that it was the case here, but still.
