    They did conduct human experiments with scientific goals in mind. The ethics were questionable (to say the least).

      My 6 year old nephew also has a scientific goal in mind when he launches dirt with his shovel catapult. Doesn’t mean that he produces anything useful

      But they didn’t even follow the scientific method or produce decent data.

      We know perhaps marginally more from them, but the poor note taking and lack of systemisation make both Mengele’s, and Japan’s Unit 731, “experiments” close to useless.

      And that’s disregarding all the ethical issues that modern non-fascist people of ethics have.
