The human experiments that Josef Mengele and others did, should it be allowed for use in current research if it has some use?

No.

Yes, although these tests were obtained in a horribly inhumane manner. They could still be very helpful to save and improve lives. No credit should go to any of the nazis or their scientists. All the people that suffered will be remembered and should get all the credit for any scientific breakthroughs based on the research.

No.
Any experiments based on inhumane treatment to any species should be illegal everywhere.
Otherwise, more suffering would be justified on behalf of extending the research with modern tools and methods.
I think more can be done in advancing knowledge with non-invasive techniques anyway. We've turned the corner away from barbaric research methods according to many scientists.

do you even know who the Nazis were? no, they should not use humans in an experiment. they could have used a lab rat. but no, they wanted to torture someone. they did not value someones live other than their own kind at all. sure, its ok to use people for testing things such as food taste tests or whatever, but not with possible life-threatinig experiments. keep in mind, the Nazis were the same people who burned people alive. let them starve. starvation is the worst possible way to die. it is the slowest, most painfull process. your insides start to eat themselves, and it takes about a week before it all ends.

Deep question, but do you know that CPR was discovered through research by Nazis in concentration camps?
CPR has saved many many lives since then, so I feel despite it being information obtained inhumanely, it should still be used. Also think, these people died yes, and I in no way shape of form condone this, but we can perhaps let them not have died in vain by using this information to save more lives. Otherwise it is science wasted.

Josep Mengele was a twisted man, but if his research can be used to help mankind, by all means use it. Science is already using some of Hitler's scientists research on science to help humans. :-))

yes anything that can be used to make humans grow and progress should be considered. I say this in no way to promote further torturous research of this kind, but at least some good can come out of most things.

Yes, but it should be cited in such a way as not to give the experimenters any credit or reward and not to encourage human experiments in the future.

I wouldn't care if they found a cure for cancer.....I would rather die first.
They were monsters who committed monstrous acts.
