I’m sure there were those who wanted to use the data collected by the Japanese during WWII as they used vivisection on conscious prisoners, immersed people in icy water, injected them with diseases, and starved them to death all in the name of research. The Allies deigned to forgo the “benefits” of the knowledge obtained.
Carson would not, apparently, have let it go to “waste.”
I read the Japanese would give the POWs a horse blood transfusion just to see the results.
