Nazi Twins experiments
The atrocities that were done in the diffrent camps are well documented in those that weren´t death camps solely. One of the well known camps during the nazi regime is aushwitz which was a multi-camp that housed and killed people. Aushitz however was also the camp where men, woman and children were experimented on. One of the well known cases are those of twins who the moment they were spotted getting of the trains were snatched away. Documents suggest that there were abut 700 pairs of twins that were experimented on. In many cases when one of the twins died the other was killed. It is thought that the nazis were interested in the genetics of the twins and how they came to be. Twins that had survived were young and forgot what they went through or they doent entirely remebr what happened but many do say that some twins were injected with bacteria to give them diseases and some twins had their organs harvested without anestisia

It's amazing the experiments that happened that would never be ethically allowed today. However, we still information gained by the Nazis during these experiments today. It is a moral dilemma to choose whether we should pretend it never happened or to learn from their experiments.
ReplyDeleteIt´s a two sided thing because on one hand hundred if not thousands died in experiments conducted by the Nazis. HOWEVER from those experiments we did learn a lot about human psychology and the human body and making cures for diseases. Doctors and nurses use information that was gathered from the Nazis for the good of all of us but I do agree that the history behind how this information came to be cannot be ignored.
