During World War II, the Nazis conducted experiments on non-consenting prisoners in the concentration camps. Some were done for the personal gain of their own military, such as the high-altitude and freezing experiments, while others were done with a certain objective in mind, like the sterilization or twin experiments. While these experiments were done by certified doctors, they were conducted unethically. With this in mind, many still argue that the data produced from these experiments should be used as evidence in other scholarly works. The data collected from the experiments and the testimonies given at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials help prove why the data should not be used as evidence and why it has not benefited the scientific community in any way.
