Medical Report #1: Pre Experiment Report We divided all of our experiments into three sections; the first category’s experiments are aimed at the survival of Axis military personnel. The second category tests pharmaceutical products and treatments for injuries and illnesses that people experienced in the field. The third category is to spread Nazi ideology. We have been using the prisoners, such as homosexuals, Jews, and Soviet prisoners as test subjects for our experiments. The experiments are going to be conducted under the supervision of Dr. Sigmund Rascher at the camps of Dachau, Birkenau, and Auschwitz. Medical Report #2: Freezing Experiment (1) We are currently conducting this experiment in order to see what conditions soldiers experienced while on the Eastern Front. Thousands of Germans have died from hypothermia. …show more content…
After five hours of sitting in the ice water, and their temperature has dropped to 25 degrees celsius, that’s when we begin rewarming them. Most of the patients have lost consciousness or died when their body hits this temperature. The patients have been foaming at the mouth, writhing in pain, and losing consciousness during these experiments. Medical Report #4: Heating Experiments (1) One method of heating freezing victims is to place them in hot water and slowly increase the temperature of the water. This has proved to be the most effective way even though many of the victims have died from the shock of the water heating up too quickly. All of the patients that we have used have pleaded to stop and cried out in pain. So far, none of the doctors or patients have attempted to stop the experiments from happening. Everything has been running smoothly because there have been no protests or rebellions, everyone has just been letting these events happen. Medical Report #5: Heating Experiments
World War II was a tragic event that affected many people, and countries. Many people that were Jewish were tortured and broken down in horrible ways during this time. WWII consisted of Adolf Hitler gaining power, and taking jews away from their families and taken to death camps. Eva is a holocaust survivor that has told her story about her and her twin sister. Eva describes her experience as “Hell on Earth.”
Summer Glaze Mrs. Market English 10 28 March 2017 Carl Clauberg Outline Carl Clauberg was a German medical doctor who had become a monster (3). Clauberg being a doctor, helped many people people (3). Clauberg was a Gynaecologist, and an Infantryman (1). After World World II began, Clauberg began conducting sterilization and artificial insemination medical experiments on women, children, and some men (2). Clauberg had met Heinrich Himmler, the leader of the SS and Reichsführer (2).
Many perished while others underwent serious injury and extreme agony. Another form of these experiments was the mustard gas trials. In these tests "doctors" deliberately perpetrated wounds and infected them with poisonous mustard gas. They also examined various contagions by emitting the chemicals into a captives'
The prisoners were physiologically abused by the Gestapo by being forced to watch the public hangings of disobedient prisoners. Then they would
The prisoners experience starvation, succumb to disease, and are abused by the guards. The Nazi doctors regularly perform selections where they
The human experiments performed on prisoners in the concentration camps during the Third Reich in order to further the regime’s agenda reveal the issue of medical ethics of doctors; the atrocities performed were recognized at the Doctor’s Trial, which set the standards of ethics for future human experiments globally through the creation of the Nuremburg Code. Before examining the human experiments conducted in concentration camps, it is important to look at how the importance and ideology of physicians had altered during the Third Reich. There were various motives for physicians to join and support the Nazi regime, as Michael Kater explains in his article “Hitler’s Early Doctors: Nazi Physicians in Predepression Germany. In his article, Kater examines the motives for physicians to support the regime, and gives a brief historical analysis of their role during this time. Kater explains the central reasons behind supporting the Nazi regime, “All of them, however, were or became stern nationalists who railed against the shameful outcome of the war, subscribed to anti-Semitism and interrelated, novel racial-hygienic theories, and were staunchly anti-Marxist and secretly afraid of a total “socialization” of the German system of
Life in Nazi Concentration Camps No food. Crammed with hundreds of people in the same room. Following orders exactly to stay alive or not be beaten. Prisoners in Nazi Concentration Camps had to survive these horrific conditions for years. The works, Night, by Elie Wiesel, Life in a Nazi Concentration Camp, by Don Nardo, and "Auschwitz Concentration Camp", by Franciszek Piper, describe the conditions of these camps from multiple survivors ' viewpoints.
For example they have served as valuable subjects in medical research.’ The use of prisoners for research was stopped in 1974 but prior to that, companies such as Johnsons and Johnsons had tested many pharmaceutical products on detainees. Many of the products tested could not be sold in their original form because of the great harm they caused to the prisoners but for some time this was overlooked due to the ‘great material benefits’ that these experiments provided. Although this practice has now been prohibited, it once again illustrates that America was not reserved in putting the advancement of capitalism above the rights of its
In the case of the Freezing Man the context of his situation would have probably lead to him not freezing to death. Though without context a near naked, blood covered man would not be someone anyone would think twice about helping due their culture and beliefs that that kind of a person should not be trusted, that is without context. If the people this man tried to get help from knew him and knew his situation they may have helped him instead of never answering their door and leaving the man to freeze. Say for example the man had just gotten away from an abduction and had been beaten and striped by his abductor. The people inside the house may have gone to help the man rather than what they did given their knowledge of the
Medical Experimentation on Humans Medical Experimentation on humans is Extremely controversial for some people. Many people believe that Medical experimentation is extremely unethical. Unit 731 was an Extreme Experiment,” Around 14,000 victims, referred to as ‘logs’ by their captors and including at least eight Allied prisoners of war, were murdered in unit 731 between 1936 to 1945 ” (Hill).There was no exact number of how many people died when Unit 731 happened.
Only a small fraction of those imprisoned in Nazi camps survived. (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum 1)”. The prisoners were tortured in ways beyond imagination. A special few prisoners would be selected by Nazi doctors, who would then perform dangerous medical experiments on them. The Nazi’s would also beat the Jews and do many treacherous things to them.
These human beings were killed in horrible dehumanizing ways. They were ordered to either the gas chambers or the crematorium; or they died because of their bad health. “We did not know, as yet, which was the better side, right or left, which road led to prison and which led to the crematorium” (Wiesel pg 32) Innocent people were tricked into walking right into the gas chambers. They would strip down and stand in lines nakes, thinking they were waiting for a shower; but instead they were in line for their death.
Elie Wiesel was forced to face death in chapter 7. It starts to snow and it gets really cold. None of the prisoners have any warm clothes to wear. They need to be really close together to make themselves warm so that's what they do. “Pressed tightly against one another, in an effort to resist the cold, our heads empty and heavy, our brains a whirlwind of decaying memories.
In modern scientific terms, the experiment would be deemed a failure. When looking back at the data, one is unable to verify its credibility. The results of an experiment are supposed to be able to be recreated in other labs if one follows the steps, but there are no concrete steps to follow throughout the whole procedure, and there is the ethical issue of using human test subjects. According to the data, Dr. Rascher believed he had figured out how long it takes a body to cool, and that the best re-warming method was a hot bath. Others have argued that neither of those assertions are true, however.
The experiments were conducted on prisoners of war, principally Koreans, Chinese and Russian soldiers. The prisoners were used to test numerous bioweapons, including Yersinia pestis, Vibrio cholera, Neisseria meningitides and Bacillus anthracis (Leitenberg, 2001). During this research, several thousand prisoners died as a result of the experiments conducted on them. However, the mortality rate around the area of Unit 731
