Something that is never really talked about when it comes to discussing the Holocaust is the abuse of the disabled and the horrible experiments and added pained forced on unwilling participants. All of the the people that were experimented on never consented and often times were kids or infants.
Experimentation is just another example of how Hitler and his people took another basic human right away from the people he targeted. These experiments stem far beyond physical things, a lot of times mental experiments were also performed on victims at the camps.
Other experiments consisted of forced sterilization, forced changing of eye color, and many other biochemical experiments. The majority of the tests focused on survival of military and troops, the testing of new drugs and treatments, and the advancement of Nazi radical race ideas.
The Nuremberg Code was created after the discovery of the horrors that took place during the Holocaust when it comes to experimentation. This code prevents any acts of malpractice and makes sure that every participant is willing to involve themselves with any testing for medical or research purposes.
