"Man with Sheet" created by Australian artist Ron Mueck crouches silently as a testiment to the medical professions shame at the Medical History Museum April 29, 2003 in Berlin. A new exhibition, "Unscrupulous and Scrupulous," questions the legitimacy of medical experiments by Nazi Doctors by bringing examples to Berlin. Experts believe that there were 8,000 to 10,000 victims of the Nazi medical experiments, but only 20 to 25 percent have been identified despite continued investigations. The exhibition shows some of the treatments the victims endured, including decompression experiments on Russian captives and Auschwitz's ''Angel of Death'' Josef Mengele's fascination with twins.
