The Pros And Cons Of Human Experimentation

Human experimentation has been and always will be a debate to whether it should be considered immoral or moral. To many, human experimentation is what has brought all of the medical and science advancements we know and use today, to others it's one of the most inhumane ideas we have actively participated in.

A quote from a respected source known as (Health) gives a great quote on the ideas that human experimentation is necessary but gets a bad misjudgement, for reasons that are understood. “Despite the compelling need for tests on human subjects and the resulting benefits for mankind, human experimentation has drawn considerable criticism. Particularly controversial has been the use of human subjects for research that does not specifically entail the benefit of the subject. This is termed non-therapeutic experimentation. Its most grotesque form occurred during the World War II in the well-documented “experiments” conducted by the Nazis on prisoners in concentration camps. At least 26 different types of experiments were conducted for the explicit purpose of gaining medical and scientific information, with the larger goal of benefiting the German people and race. The Nazis “experimentation” was in fact torture--it was characterized by coercion and lack of consent; the use of men, women, and children in blatant disregard of their health and
