I'm not sure if you are "joking" or not aware of history, but here is some reading to answer your question why we don't do this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_human_experimentation

The nazis didn't invent human experimentation. Human experimentation happened in the US before the nazis. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/danvergano/cruel-medica... Also, we created the largest human experimentat during ww2 - hiroshima and nagasai which was used to test the short-term and long-term effects of radiation on a large sample size. On aborigines before the nazis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unethica…

There is no assertion in my post that the nazis invented unethical medical experimentation which would be absurd. Neither did The US. It is a famous example taught in medical history classes.

> There is no assertion in my post that the nazis invented unethical medical experimentation which would be absurd. But you asserted it's why we stopped. So your logic is we were okay with experimenting on black slaves, aborigines, natives, etc, but it was the nazis that made up stop? Even though we recruited these nazi scientists after ww2 and even though we continued with unethical human experimentation after ww2?…
