Should the world be allowed to dehumanize death row inmates and use them as lab rats for scientific reasons?
The Nazis did so with innocent people and found a lot of answers, would it make sense to do this with those who bare a burden to society?

If one were to make sure that people would go on the death row only if it was absolutely certain that they were serial killers or mass murderers, I don't see a problem with how they are disposed.

About 25 years ago as I recall, the ban on listing his work in scientific and medical journals that published breakthroughs in science and medicine, was lifted. Any professional who found, discovered or created a breakthrough in disease, medicine, and or science that was aided by his meticulous record keeping (and his work if you care to call it that) was now allowed to put his influencing experiments in as references. Thus, the beginning of elevating his status from the Angel of Death to one of pioneer. And there are those out there who are all too willing to work diligently to make his hero status a certainty.
I don't think we should do as you have asked..............................................................UNLESS,
we use those who are not in prison (politicians, lawyers, three-letter acronym agencies, corporate CEO's, religious leaders, spokespeople and believers and followers, bankers), in short those who steal the most from the coffers of the working slaves, those who carry out the most horrendous policies that kill millions of babies, children, adults, democracies, countries, and environments, as the lab rats.
A great experiment would be to see if the conditions of the world improve if they were all gone because they thrive on inequality, poverty, slavery, greed, crime, war and death.
It wouldn't hurt to find out.

Mengele is actually one of my top favorite ppl of all time, so yes his work is very relevant and good info. You make a great point about the scumbags of the world but think about it this way: a world where there is a group who studies and uses these ppl as lab rats in order to eliminate evil would actually influence evil. It will never be diminished unless we all evolved into robots and at a push of a button Wars could be turned off.
Idk if that made any sense

Or will someone just come along and fill up the vacuum and start the process all over again?, We are Hierachal beings, we always have been. The experiment will be void once we look at each other and ask "So who do we give the results to? Where's our funding gone? Sorry, i'm with Brian on this.

Not sure what you are referring to.
I'm not for something like this and Josef is not one of my favorite people.
Are you sure you meant me?
Unfortunately, people have been filling the evil vacuum since Mengele led, bled and fled.
They are in power in America which is one reason Mengele was allowed to go free.
The U.S. wanted to know what he had learned so they wanted his records.
They helped him.
They allowed so many German scientists to come to America, gave them good jobs, great pay, and without punishment for what they were a part of.
I'm not sure what you mean, though. Do you believe your leaders? I don't. Not one, not one word and their action speaks all I need to know.

It wasn't meant to carry any hidden connotation or slight accusation but a good drawcard for an excellent response you just posted.
My current government have botched things politically but that's what the country wanted and that's what we got except the oppositions policies almost mirrored the current parties policies, so it really didn't matter who we elected.
I'm not American so i only know a little about their history, I thought it was only the scientists that worked on the weapons projects that were taken over not Mengele so thanks, i learnt something new again.

This experiment has been tried several times. Here are the results:
inequality -- reduces somewhat, poverty -- increases greatly, slavery -- increases greatly, greed -- increases, crime -- I don't know, war -- about the same, and death -- people die earlier.
Look up the reasons for the downfall of communism. Go live in a communist country if you want to try it for yourself.

It would amount to punishing misdeeds with another grand expression of evil. As Mr Long has rightly stated, in all we do, even in a quest for the advancement of knowledge we should not lose sight of the dignity, sanctity and value of human life.
