Well there is a reason those experiment could never happen today. I think we've come a long way to define our moral rules.

@laxam, I do believe that such experiments could still exist somewhere deep, unbeknownst to the outside world.
Of course there might always be individuals without morals, but I'm glad that society overall now views this kinds of experiments as inhumane.
At the same time, I can't deny that those experiments gave us invaluable insights into our psychology. Yet, answering question in your post, I don't think they are justified.
@laxam, Sacrifice is required to achieve greater things! The sacrifice of the people who fell victim to such kind of horrific experiences have led us to a better understanding of the human mind!
Ehm... Just a little note - the post was written by me. :D
I agree that these experiments have provided us with incredible psychological insights.
I believe that today, with a lot more experience and technology (and higher moral standards of the society, as you pointed out), we could come up with similar knowledge with much more ethical experiments.
Cheers! : )
Sorry @lifenbeauty!
