Dr. Josef Mengele freezes the stage

Although the Holocaust was a devastating blow to all humanity, thanks to Dr. Josef Mengele’s wicked experiments, we now have a greater understanding of the biological setup of the human body. Most of his experiments were 110% disturbing. One famous experiment was to answer the questions: “How long would it take to lower the body temperature to death? After frozen, what is the best way to resuscitate the frozen victim?” His two main methods of this experiment was to put the victim in a tub full of icy water and/or place the victim outside, naked, in sub-zero temperatures. The result was the “icy vat of water” method proved to be the fastest way to drop the body temperature. The second part of the experiment was to see if you can defrost the human body and see if they could live or not. One method was the use of the sun lamp. The victim was placed under a sun lamp that was so hot that they would burn the skin. One young homosexual victim was repeatedly cooled to unconsciousness then revived with the lamps until he was pouring sweat (he later died after several test sessions). The "Hot Bath" method was one of the best and most successful of all methods. The victim would be placed in warm water, while the temperature would slowly increase. From this experiment, we learned that the human body can unfreeze only if the temperature of the water would slowly increase. If it was quickly increased then the body would go into too much shock and practically fry. Over all, Dr. Mengele's experiments taught the military world that the human body could be saved if the soldier was unconscious and frozen. It also gave a little more insight or understanding to the human temperature.
