INFORMATION CENTER RESARCH QUESTIONS
Many Nazi doctors and scientists justified their “experiments” as advancing their nation and the cause of science.
QUESTION 1 In light of historical evidence, and codes of accepted practices how do these justifications and experiments conflict with the concept of social and moral righteousness?
QUESTION 2 Is it really ethical to use the data-that is- the results of these experiments? Can their use be justified? If what happened is now history, is it okay to look at this data? (“what’s done is done”)
You should use the list of modern experimental guidelines that is on the reverse of the Milgram handout.
