No, it's really a serious question.
I feel like Mengele is an example worst case scenario for the medical experiments you suggested. Furthermore, I think you said it was okay because you didn't think of the people in question as people anymore--parasites or something. I may be misquoting you.
So then, you don't think Mengele is a fair comparison, despite the dehumanization of the criminals in question. All right, that's fair. So logically, that would imply
a. You believe that animals have certain rights to be free of particular kinds of medical experimentation
b. You believe that objects have certain rights to be free of particular kinds of medical experimentation
c. You were exaggerating the degree of dehumanization
d. Something else
And yeah, I'm genuinely curious.
As for the occasional innocent? It's a small price to pay in my opinion.
Say what you want, but a police-state/totalitarian government a la Deus Ex would not be that bad.

Ah ok, sorry about asking but I wasn't sure. Lets see...
A. Honestly this is one subject I am conflicted about and I'm currently unable to resolve it. So effectively, yes. It should be noted that I consider the criminals on a lower level than most animals due to being able to think and still doing what they did (rape, murder, ect, ect).
B. Yes, unique/rare samples shouldn't be destroyed or damaged, usually. This is about were the convict test subjects would stand. I mentioned earlier that I was open to them volunteering for experimentation. If this was the case I would probably let them decide what experiment they would like to entered into.
C. Not really.
D. Mengele killed innocent people for pleasure, he was more a butcher than a scientist. I would be taking people who would die anyways for the horrible crimes that they've committed and using them to help humanity.
As for caring about not mixing innocent people up with those who should be on death row... thats pretty obvious. I would be doing all of this to make life better for everyone, why would I not care about harming innocents?
I should bring up at this point that even though I've been taking the more extreme side of my ideas the volunteer system is superior and benefits from actually being feasible.
This will probably be my last post for tonight, too tired to think right, headache and all that. I hope I understood everything right and was coherent lol. Time to pass out...
