That's a lot like a question I was asked recently. Dragonsoul Send a noteboard - 16/04/2010 10:34:01 PM
It was "would it be ethical to make use of the medical advancements made by the Nazi doctors during the holocaust"?

To me, I think it would be unethical not to use it. I mean, it was obtained using the worst means possible. However, if the medical knowledge was not used, it would, to me anyway, mean that those people died in vain.

And if it can be used to help others, would it be ethical to allow them to suffer?

I don't think so. But that's just me.

Obtaining it was wrong. Using it is not. *NM* Ghavrel - 16/04/2010 01:07:35 AM 184 Views

So, like... using medical research acquired by Nazi scientists during the Holocaust? *NM* Mad Cow Bomber - 16/04/2010 04:34:32 AM 250 Views
Yeah, like that, pretty much. *NM* Spriteling - 16/04/2010 09:37:25 AM 162 Views
I can't think of many ethical considerations of any sort that would trump dying family member. *NM* Aemon - 16/04/2010 05:12:43 AM 159 Views

This is a total no-brainer, as per above responses. Star Trek clearly needs better moral dilemmas. Tim - 16/04/2010 09:44:43 AM 367 Views
I think I did a slightly bad job of explaining it. Spriteling - 16/04/2010 11:56:14 AM 569 Views

This question kind of raised it's head in a recent Bad Science column Mark - 16/04/2010 01:25:12 PM 484 Views
I think it would be unethical to let someone else die to protect your moral values *NM* random thoughts - 16/04/2010 02:16:54 PM 151 Views
Possibly not, but only if it would be immoral for your victims to refuse to cure your loved one. Burr - 16/04/2010 04:33:38 PM 394 Views
