I was told by one of my professors while in college, it was one of my Psychology professors over summer school at WSU actually, about how Psychologists are governed by a code of ethics which all scientists must abide by!. That code of ethics was written After WWII because of Nazi depredations and one more thing;

Academics and scholars the world over do not consider Joseph Mengele a scientist!. He was someone who studied medicine, and held a degree in it, but his depredations made it so that no one considers him a "scientist!." You can only be consider a scientist if you adhere to that code of ethics in ADDITION to holding your degrees!. Even if you hold 40 degrees, but you do not follow those ethics, you are not considered a scientist!.

Yes it was Joseph Mengele, but he wasn't a scientist!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Dr Mengele, I presume!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

There were more than one infamous Doctor that did experiments!. After WW2, in October 1946, the Nuremberg Medical Trial began, lasting until August of 1947!. Twenty-tree German physicians and scientists were accused of performing vile and potentially lethal medical experiments on concentration camps inmates and other living human subjects between 1933 and 1945!. Mengele was not amongst the accused!.



At Auschwitz Professor Carl Clauberg injected chemical substances into wombs of thousands of Jewish and Gypsy women!. They were sterilized by the injections, producing horrible pain, inflamed ovaries, bursting spasms in the stomach, and bleeding!. Men and women were positioned repeatedly for several minutes between two x-ray machines aimed at their sexual organs!. Most subjects died or were gassed immediately because the radiation burns from which they suffered rendered them unfit for work!. Men's testicles were removed and sent to Breslau for histopathological examination!.

Dr!. Herta Oberheuser killed children with oil and evipan injections, then removed their limbs and vital organs!. The time from the injection to death was between three and five minutes, with the person being fully conscious until the last moment!. During the Holocaust she made some of the most gruesome and painful medical experiments, focused on deliberately inflicting wounds on the subjects!. In order to simulate the combat wounds of German soldiers fighting in the war, Herta Oberheuser rubbed foreign objects, such as wood, rusty nails, slivers of glass, dirt or sawdust into the wounds!.

In August 1944 Dr!. Karl Brandt, Hitler's personal physician, was appointed Reich Commissioner for Sanitation and Health, ranked as the highest Reich authority!. He was authorized to issue instructions to the medical organizations of the government, to the party, and the armed forces, in the field of health!. He participated in the euthanasia program, which involved the systematic execution of the aged, insane, incurably ill, or deformed children by gas or lethal injections in nursing homes, hospitals and asylums!. They were regarded as 'useless eaters' and a burden to the German war machine!.


Fifteen defendants were found guilty, and eight were acquitted!. Of the 15, seven were given the death penalty and eight imprisoned!. Herta Oberheuser, the doctor who had rubbed crushed glass and sawdust into the wounds of her subjects, was the only female defendant in the medical trial!. She received a 20 year sentence but was released in April 1952 and became a family doctor at Stocksee in Germany!. Her license to practice medicine was revoked in 1958!.
Karl Brandt was one of the 15 defendants found guilty of war crimes at the Doctors Trial!. He was executed June 2, 1948 at Landsberg prison in Bavaria!.
Carl Clauberg was put to trial in the Soviet Union and sentenced to 25 years!. 7 years later, he was pardonned under the returnee arrangement between Bonn and Moscow and went back to West Germany!. Upon returning he held a press conference and boasted of his scientific work at Auschwitz!. After survivor groups protested, Clauberg was finally arrested in 1955 but died in August 1957, shortly before his trial should have started!.
Despite international efforts to track him down, Josef Mengele was never apprehended and lived for 35 years hiding under various aliases!. He lived in Paraguay and Brazil until his death in 1979!.
One afternoon, living in Brazil, he went for a swim!. While in the ocean he suffered a massive stroke and began to drown!. By the time he was dragged to shore, he was dead!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes his name was Josef Mengele, nicknamed the Angel of Death, and he was indeed a scientist!. Of course, what he did in his experiments was morally highly unacceptable, barbaric, inhumane and disgusting -you'll see when you read about him- but still, his contribution to today's genetics is undeniable!. He left for Argentina when the Nazis lost the war!.
