I think we should praise the tecniqué developed by medicine during their time (18th to 19th centuries) and if we want to analyse the behavior of those praticians (I’m not sure if that’s the correct spelling in english) on ethics classes in general, J.M. Sims is not the only one to do despicable thing to advance…

...so if you lived at his time you would not be unhappy if you were given to him for experiments? Because “this is normal at this time”?

Yet everyone is ready to judge without understanding the context.

History doesn’t belong to anyone, history is history. The statue of this man reflects someone felt he was worthy of it, not that he truly was, nor does it mean that he is immune to future criticism, or of being removed. The fact remains that his science was done at a time of true human misery, and his actions in that…

I am not defending him, I’m just simply acknowledging the circumstances under which he performed his “experiments” (13 on the same one subject) in order to correct a Fistula.

“...the fact that he performed the same surgery on a white woman also without anesthetic should prove to you that his decision was not race related...”

Prime example: What we know about hypothermia is largely still based on unethical experiments done by Nazi doctors on concentration camp subjects. The experiments are simply too vile to be reaccomplished or updated, but they remain useful information. So we use the info without glorifying the men that gathered that…

“At the end of the day, you only have so many hours. If you spend them worried about things that happened in the past rather than what’s happening right now, I think it’s a tactical mistake. If you’ve got an hour to protest something, protest something that is causing physical harm right now rather than something that…

I can read, ok? Despite your protests, you are doing a fantastic impression of someone who is defending a man who makes Mister Sinister look like a character from the Land of Make Believe.

He knows. He’s just being an assy defender for no reason other than it is a white man.

And for this... he deserves a statue? Could we not simply discuss his ‘contributions’ in say, a text book, or a class where the full scope of his works could be discussed and measured?

You are defending him.

Ah, the white woman...WHO GOT TO CONSENT.

I’m fairly certain Mengle didn’t bring about anything of use. On the other hand, you get people like Wern Von Braun (the Father of Rocket Science). I’d say Hubertus Strughold “The Father of Space Medicine” is a good analogy if you want one. His studies on human test subjects were useful regarding the effects of…

YES BUT WHAT ABOUT is your entire posting history.

Others with more knowledge can expand on this, but Sims did not observe any sort of system of trials (not that it would be excusable even if he did). He used the bodies of black women—specifically and only black women—as materials upon which he could play scientist in the same way that a sixth grader with a new…

I have some Ibuprofin if your shoulder is hurting from that reach.

You will understand Suikoden 2's story easily without having played the first, but it’s set in the same world than the first, three years later, and it has a number of returning supporting characters (the appeal of the Suikoden series is that you see only a fraction of the world in each game, and they keep expanding…

Suikoden 1 is really fantastic. If you like JRPGs and have no problem going back, there’s really NOT a reason not to play Suikoden 1.

Would I have to play Suikoden 1 first in order to understand 2? I’m kinda curious to play Suikoden 2 after so much priase from Jason.
