Abstract
This paper examines the different human experiments Nazi medical officials conducted on concentration camp prisoners without their consent. The following medical experiments were conducted: genetic studies, survival and enhancement of racial and biological qualities, and drug and treatment trials. This research outlines the specific details of each experiment and the physical, psychological, and emotional impacts on the victims. The defeat of the Nazi party resulted in the Nuremburg Code and the futures of the Nazi medical officials. This paper discusses the question of is it ethical to use the data collected by these medical officials even if they were obtained without consent of the subjects.
