Ethics of Inquiry
aka
Should I Squash a Mouse to Find Out the Exact Sound Made By A Mouse Being Squashed
Who: Nazis and prisoners
What: Nazi experiments which contributed to the Great Cause of knowledge construction, but which regretfully (to the experimentees' regret, of course, not the experimenters') involved the sacrifice of a few guinea pigs along the way
When: 1942
Where: Dachau concentration camp
Why: To determine the most effective method of rewarming for military use
How:
1. Create conditions cold enough to decrease body temperature rapidly.
2. Rewarm when body temperature falls below X degree Celsius / Fahrenheit.
3. Observe and record which method of rewarming is the most effective.
So what?
Usage of Nazi data by Air-Sea Rescue Services of the U.S. Armed Forces --> Justified?

Just refer to one's biology textbook.
