Human Guinea Pigs

Back during WWII times experimenting on prisoners was not considered much of a big deal irrespective of Nuremberg.

It was at about this time that prosecution of Nazi doctors in 1947 led to the Nuremberg Code, a set of international rules to protect human test subjects. Many U.S. doctors essentially ignored them, arguing that they applied to Nazi atrocities - not to American medicine.

In the same way that we can still justify experiments on animals because they are not people, it was OK to experiment on prisoners and blacks because they also were not fully "people".
