Would You Support Medical Experiments on Life Prisoners? ?

Question by Doctor Jack: Would you support medical experiments on life prisoners? ?
Only murderers.

Obviously there is only so far animal testing can go in there search for new medicine and vaccines. The only way to ensure effectiveness is sometimes to use human research. However, some research is inherently life threatening and volunteers cannot be used.
In the search for a vaccine against HIV or a cure for cancer do you think it is morally justifiable to experiment on the most heinous convicted murderers?

Surely it is right to expend 100 murderers in order to save millions from HIV or cancer? I personally think the ends would justify the means used to discover this. While I think the death penalty is useless and unjustifable because it only serves the purpose of revenge, I feel in a way these people will be giving back to a society they took so much from. Medical science can be greatly aided by discoveries that are deemed unethical admittly by most, but what of the greater good? The bombing of innocence (or ‘collateral damage’ as it is called) in Iraq was justified to find nonexistant WMDs and the ‘liberate’ them. This is something that could potentially save the lives of millions: I feel we must act logically.

No. I mean, for the same reason I don’t support the death penalty. We might do this to an innocent person.
