in which information is collected is controversial. The use of animals has been one of the areas gaining the attention of the media. However, one of the most controversial issues
in the medical research arena is the way in which the data obtained by the Third Reich in Nazi Germany should be used. The Nazis undertook a great deal
of research, conducting many inhumane experiments in the name of the Third Reich. These experiments are wide ranging and produced a great deal of medical data, all of which was
produced at great cost. If we consider the experiments that were undertaken we can see how the information may be useful today, and consider how and if it is morally
justifiable to use that research that was really a type of "murder masquerading as research" (Cohen, 2002). The experiments were carried out at numerous sites by different doctors. Doctor
Joseph Mengele may have been the best known, but he was not the only doctor to contradict the Hippocratic oath. In looking at these experiments there are some features that
were common to them all, none of the experiments used willing subjects, the individuals that were subjected to the research would suffer pain and often humiliation, and the experiments would
usually be fatal (Cohen, 2002). The justification for the research was ideological, and used for both medical and military purposes (Cohen, 2002, Anonymous, 2002). Experiments were often internalised with
doctors arguing that the prisoners had been condemned to death anyway. To discover how long pilots that were downed over the North Sea would survive and how to help improve
the normal survival rate of 2 - 3 hours (Lifton, 1984), Dr. Sigmund Rascher under took experiments first at Dachau and then at Auschwitz. He was answerable directly to Himmler
