immoral medicine

ilana yurkiewicz - modern medical terms are still named after nazi doctors can we change it?

"Medical eponyms are meant to honor individuals who contributed to the field. Torture and murder are not things we wish to honor. After the war, a profound ethical debate sprung from the question of what to do with discoveries that came about from forced experimentation on human beings without their consent... [should we] keep or discard useful medical information obtained through grossly immoral means. All medical information discovered would still be known. All that was asked is that the result was not named to reward a criminal."

i completely understand why the author argues that we should change the names of these medical terms, but it also seems a bit unfair to deny those doctors the credit, because, well, they did discover those things.
"The other argument of course is that no matter how unspeakable the crimes committed by these scientists may be, it still does not detract from the purely scientific value of their investigations." 

"...the Stark and Lenard effects, the Debye unit of dipole moment and the Geiger counter are all named after scientists whose allegiance to Nazism was either explicit or ambiguous." and even the Clara cell example, whom the author describes as "named after Max Clara, an “active and outspoken Nazi” who made his discovery using tissues from murdered Third Reich victims." this is a really vague example. did clara do any of the murdering or did he just use the tissues from people who were murdered?

war is a crazy time, what with tons of people getting killed. but it's also a really great time for certain fields of knowledge, and not just military strategy stuff. i read something about how plastics boomed because wwII needed all the steel and iron and metals. and how a crap ton of medical discoveries are made during wars. there's a guy who perfected burn treatment because his hospital just couldn't keep up and treat the many burn victims the way they normally did. the dr had a hunch about another technique and tried it out on patients (without their consent) and it turned out to be a better treatment. but his success is just one of the many many failures. and outside of war, i'm sure that many discoveries medical and biological science have  broken moral and ethical codes.

i guess the best way would be to say that discoveries cannot be named after people ever. which is, of course, not a good solution at all.
