Yes those atrocities did happen but ethics regulations have come a long way as well. I'm not saying ethics are not a big deal. They are. Many of the experiments you talk about were just horrendous, yes, but scientists in stem cell research are not trying to clone entire human beings. There may be a possibility of being able to achieve it yes...but the vast, vast majority of researchers are not aiming to realize that possibility. Scientists are human too, and ethics is heavily emphasized nowadays.
