This paper is organized to explain both sides of the topic, why it was helpful, why it was not called for, a few short survivor stories, and also a brief critical thinking “wrap up.” This is for the people who think the test’s were justifiable, there was a lot of good that came out of the experiments. There was a big advancement in what the human body can take, and couldn't take. We learned things like, warm water could not re-heat, or give life back too frozen organs, victims who were placed in a freezer, until their organs were almost shut down. Then they would be forced to drink almost boiling water, most of the time, it seemed like the water would just burn through the stomach, there was absolutely no survivors. We also learned A whole lot about
