Furthermore, Nazi other technology WOULD of grown even faster... except they scared some of their best scientists out of the country... who were Jewish. Ethics do hold back science, but the examples you gave are poor ones. Better ones would be something like how FDA regulations greatly slow the release of helpful drugs and treatments that can save peoples lives who have no hope otherwise. |
Or preventing cancer/AIDS patients from using medical marijuana which would help them keep their food down and appetite up (prevent prescription drug side effects). I know my examples were pretty poor in the op now that I look back at them, and I will probably change the op to some better topics. I just wanted to get the discussion going but perhaps caused more harm due to the use of poor examples.
I agree that not too much was actually beneficial from most of the Nazi experiments. Perhaps the Navy/Air Force could tell how fast they needed to rescue pilots/sailors from freezing waters before they froze to death due to putting human test subjects into a tub of freezing water.
