Real estate entrepreneur Shalom Lamm is interested in military history, especially as it relates to Jewish history and WWII. Shalom Lamm has been actively involved with Operation Benjamin, a project that involves changing the grave markers of Jewish soldiers who fought and perished in WWII.
An oversight, recognizing the faith of slain Jewish soldiers and their contributions to the war effort comes at a time when modern science is testing modern research ethics in relationship to using data from Nazi experimentation. In a very practical way, some people assume that using data harvested in an unethical manner without regard to the human’s dignity, safety, or respect is acceptable, especially if it overwhelmingly benefits society. Even with these advances, though, there a few consequences.
Some of the most glaring examples of the way data has been used from unethical Nazi experiments are hyperthermia experiments. These trials involved Nazis immersing Jewish prisoners in ice-cold water until they fell unconscious. This data led to discoveries a few decades later on how to revive people who have fallen into ice-cold water.
