Was it wrong to take the WWII-era Japanese human vivisection experiment results and research them in order to better understand our bodies as long as we did not allow these experiments to continue? Of course, we hired a bunch of thier scientists to work alongside Nazis after teh war, but that's another subject.
Is it wrong to study the religion of ancient Incas, Mayans, Aztecs, etc. because the religions focused on human sacrifice and what modern humans would consider self-mutilation?
If people were tortured and a huge advance was made because of it, it was not right to torture those people, but refusing to use the technological advance is an insult to them. If I'm going to die in an unpleasant way, I'll be pissed if someone thinks that the inhumane treatment while I'm alive is a reason to not use it. It's adding insult to injury. I'd also want those responsible to be punsihed so that the development would not set a precedent for human torture in medical procedures.
