Is illegal and inhumane testing on live humans ok?
I think it's somewhat necessary, but it still frightens me that people can do this in the name of science.
So let's talk about this, /sci/
What other experiments would you want to try out, if it was legal and you had the resources?

There is always someone we can dispose of.

>somewhat necessary
what? I can't think of a single test that would give us information that we couldn't get from a voluntary subject, an understanding of biology, studying someone who's already afflicted, and animal testing.

Unless "how long before an average girl turns into a cockhungry man pleasing object from being trapped in a room with a rape robot 24/7" counts. That's a necessary study of human behavior that requires some sacrifice.

Like mass murderers.

I see no reason for such experiments unless you plan to want to experiment in psychology or neuroscience. And you can't use ^ for obvious reasons.

Some of the world's greatest minds had the same moral integrity, it's no indicator of intelligence as much as we'd like to think otherwise.

Personally I'm against inhumane experiments if they don't somehow save lives or are performed on an involuntary subject. I'd like to extend that kind of morality to experiments on animals but it's not really practical.

This is too broad of a subject for any one answer, really. It just comes down to whether or not the end justifies those means. Can one life save a thousand? Can a hundred lives save a million? Or is it just an immoral experiment for the sake of knowledge?

give the kid some slack, we used to be like that too, at some point.
>>2322568
Kid, once you break down the barriers between black and white, they start to mix together to create a grey, which at first is scorned, but then is accepted, this holds true for a lot of the shit going on in our society. once you begin to say there is someone who deserves to die the boundries begin to shift, and slowly there are more people who "deserve" to die, as pointed out by >>2322586
btw, this one of the big reasons countries with death penalties suck, like the USA, Japan and North Korea, the others mainly being third-world.

>> No.2322665

The ends can justify the means and an experiment that causes harm can give us information valuable enough to be worth it, the problem is that people are notoriously bad at distinguishing when this is the case and so if we allow 'immoral' experiments to become commonplace we might end up doing more harm than good.
