Should they be discounted because of they way they were done?
A lot of Nazi science was pure garbage. They regularly changed and manipulated data to for their world view.
Plus if the experiments can't be safely and ethically reproduced how can we even check to see if their results are valid??? It's only science of the results can be reproduced consistently. Otherwise you are trusting the data collection of 70 year dead Nazis with a history of gaming data.
But these particular experiments were well conducted and documented. The fact that they tortured people does not invalidate the data. It may taint it.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis.
