prisoners.
Both the Nazis and the Japanese did so in WWII.
What they did was evil, no question about it. I have read that the US & perhaps other countries granted immunity to some of the perpetrators in order to get access to the data, techniques used and so on.
Whether or not granting immunity at that point was immoral is less clear and something medical ethicists wrestle with.
Most consider using the information learned to be ethical, as long as there is no rewarding of those who committed the evil, and especially not rewarding those who would continue to commit such evil acts.
I think the same principles would apply to using aborted babies for medical research. The research should be outlawed where it has not already been. The results of the experiments should be evaluated to see whether using medicines, technology and so on can morally be condoned.
