Great article... I also like your point of view on the subject. Almost all of my writing broaches the subject of evil (particularly the Night Gods series which are a study in evil).

I've done vast amounts of research into the Nazi eugenics program- you should check out Dr. Ernst Rudin, he was the psychiatrist that provided the "scientific justifications" for the cruelty... the whole "greater good" argument as well as the mercy of euthanasia for the "unfit." As far as imagining labs where horrific experiments are performed, I don't have to... it goes on every day. Human/organ trafficking is huge business, along with stem cell research. Just follow the money!
