Nazi Ethics

Dombrowski makes a point to say that he is not trying in any way to justify the actions of the Nazi regime.
The “science” that was claimed in Nazi technical documents violated ethical standards and was not really science but rather racial abuse and mass killing
The publication that we are looking at has already been well analyzed by Steven Katz
Recently many arguments have risen against the use of scientific data obtained in unethical ways
The New England Journal of Medicine takes the stance that they will not publish reports of unethical research, regardless of their scientific merit.
Nazi doctors would identify, certify disabilities, and supervise the execution of children by means such as starvation
The nazi regime would reinterpret establish terminology in such a way that suited their own ends. They took the term “Euthanasia” which had meaning as a mercy killing of someone of sound mind that was terminally ill and in excruciating pain and wanted their life to end. The Nazis however redefined this to mean the putting to death of someone in a humane way that was perceived as no longer being worthy of life
It is important to watch for objectivizaton in science and to remember the ethical implications of treating people as objects rather than as people
It is possible to write things in technical language in such a way that makes it harder to see the ethical dilemmas that are raised from such things. This is seen very much so in the way that the document that is described as being cited often by Steven Katz is written.
The document here shows what appear to be technical specs for a vehicle. However further information shows us that the vehicle in question is used for the mass murdering of the Jewish people. This sheds new light on the ethical implications of the document and makes it seem a lot less acceptable that it did initially.
Viktor Brack writes a report that shows how to effectively eliminate the ability of the Jewish people to reproduce and how to accomplish this without them even being aware that such a thing is happening. The ethical implication here is harsh and shows that the Nazi regime would not only do this to people, but that they were trying to do it in such a way that would not even let them know, therefore making them seem less than human.
The ethical errors of the Nazis did not stop with the use of the technical documents but rather they extended all the way to visual media as well. They had charts and diagrams that showed how to identify and measure racial features in ways that were designed to appear scientific but were in reality far from it.
Does the use of these technical Nazi documents during the course of this chapter coincide with the ethical implications of using Nazi research that is being debated?
