I find it curious that they talk about privacy for Hitler but don’t mention Henrietta Lacks who this very thing happened to. Her cell cultures are being used to this day.
And also just generally a matter of practicality. If every time you raised an issue of medical or scientific ethics you had to simultaneously mention every single other instance where that issue came into play it’d be impossible to discuss them.

that’s how you know the whole argument is a dog whistle…
Is this called whataboutism? Henrietta Lacks may be why we argue this, eg, do the arguments on Henrietta Lacks apply as much to Hitler?
