 History of Human Research
The intellectual and philosophical rationalizations, as well as much of the practice of human experimentation, was well advanced by the end of the nineteenth century, and presents a continuing danger to human rights today, particularly when faced with the stimulus of crisis and war.
The evolution from animal experimentation to human experimentation is a logical consequence of laws governing the experimental process, whether in Nazi Germany, or elsewhere, and not the result of preferring humans to animals.
Usually the human beings used for experimental purposes were--and are-- the disenfranchised, populations of prisoners, orphans, the mentally retarded, charity patients of all kinds.

Nazi Germany also pioneered what we now call experimental epidemiology: two striking papers -- a 1939 article by Franz H. Müller of Cologne, and a 1943 paper by Eberhard Schairer and Erich Schöniger of Jena -- presented the most convincing demonstrations up to that time that cigarettes were a major cause of lung cancer.
The Nazi state was supposed to be a hygienic state; Nazism was supposed to be "applied biology" (Fritz Lenz coined this phrase in 1931).
Nazi legal philosophy tended to blur the distinction between insanity and criminality, but it is a distinction we must keep clear.

 The Badger Herald - California Dreamin’
Humans in the early stages of development (embryos) are not any less human.
When embryonic stem cell research destroys a human life every time, these same ethical concerns should be raised, and “thousands of new jobs” and “millions of dollars” do not outweigh the destruction of human life.
We are taught to regard the embryo stage as merely one stage in the sequence of human development, not that the embryo is pre-human.

The ever-increasing number of cases of horrific human experimentation is a direct consequence of the vivisection mentality.
Experimentation on human beings is not the work of a few aberrant doctors; it is systemic, because it is the system by which modern western medicine works.
Animal experimentation is "the core to understanding the whole process of human experimentation," for if the poor, the mentally retarded, the homeless, the orphaned and the imprisoned have little voice, the animals have no voice, and it is voicelessness and rightlessness that invests the whole procedure from animal to orphan to the mentally retarded.

 Human Subjects
The decision to conduct a study with human subjects carries both ethical and regulatory responsibilities to protect the welfare and interests of those subjects, to design the study so as to minimize risks to subjects, and to obtain adequate training for protecting the interests and welfare of the research subjects.
A prerequisite for the responsible research involving humans is a realistic examination of the probability and magnitude of both the risks and the benefits of the research.
Investigators conducting a research study with human subjects have an absolute responsibility to ensure that consent to participate has been given freely and is based on an understanding of the risks and benefits.

 BioMed Central | Full text | Human dignity in the Nazi era: implications for contemporary bioethics
They asked, "Is there human life which has so utterly forfeited its claim to worth that its continuation has forever lost all value both for the bearer of that life and for society?" [2].
When humans are viewed as simply part of the continuum of animal life, and as having no inherent value, their worth is estimated on a curve.
Without a robust adherence to the notion that all human life is dignified, and that human dignity is inherent and endowed, destruction of human life will increasingly be seen as the ethical answer to moral quandaries in medicine, nursing and biotechnology.

 Germany Hopes to Block Deadly Human Embryo Experimentation in the EU
Germany is working to rally a coalition of predominantly Catholic countries to block EU funding of embryonic stem cell research.
Germany itself has effectively banned all research using embryonic stem cells, arguably in part on account of the nation’s sensitivity to any hint of eugenics motivated research, following the disastrous consequences of the country’s early 20th century period of Nazi-led genetic experimentation.
In 2005 Germany and Italy joined with Austria, Poland and Slovakia in authoring a joint declaration petitioning the EU to cancel plans for funding research using human embryos.

 The Nexus Seven meet the Cassiopaeans by Laura Knight-Jadczyk

The concept of a "master race" put forward by the Nazis was merely a 4th density STS effort to create a physical vehicle with the correct frequency resonance vibration for 4th density STS souls to occupy in 3rd density.
