What do people think about Josef Mengele?

Answer 1

Josef Mengele was a German officer and physician in Auschwitz whose experiments with the prisoners, particularly regarding genetics with twins, horrified the world when they were found out. Although some of his findings would be useful in present day, the circumstances of the findings prevent ethical use of the results. He was never located after the end of the war, although it was believed that he resided in Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil while being pursued by Nazi Hunters. He died of drowning in 1979 and forensic studies determined that it was him in 1985.

Answer 2

Josef Mengele was an absolutely horrible human being who spent every iota of his ability and talent dedicated to the proposition of violating all norms of human decency and bodily respect. Contrary to fellow Expert, Judy Olmsted, I believe that Mengele was a perfectly sane individual (not mentally ill) who was rationally pursuing a set of goals. It just happens that the goals he pursued were highly immoral.

Answer 3

He was mentally ill.
