Knowledge Without Character: Science Without Humanity Poem by Terence George Craddock

Knowledge Without Character: Science Without Humanity



what could possibly go wrong with applied intelligence
without morality integrity ethics a criminal mentality?
Josef Mengele poses smiles sweetly at Auschwitz II
Birkenau concentration camp the vile Angel of Death
an officer a doctor a physician during World War II
performed deadly experiments on innocent prisoners
Nazi demon physicians their assistants forced prisoners
onto operating tables experiments typically conducted

without anesthesia resulted in death disfigurement
permanent disability mutilation trauma considered
examples of medical torture conducted on adults
children on vast scientific medical industrial scale

designing ever more lethal weapons of war
including biological germ warfare plagues
chemical weapons such as poison mustard gas
Germany WW1 without conscience used mustard gas
Germany WW2 horrific horror genocide gas chambers...

war criminal science design butterfly mines
butterfly mines look like toys blow off child hand
design disease biological weapons killing terrible

be careful biological diseases can escape from labs...
