Well, I can't know either way, of course. You're right that there might've been a direct link between inhumane experimentation and the development of modern medicine and technology.

Again, I don't see why you equate "feeling grateful for [thing]" with "not wishing [thing] didn't happen". These are dramatically different sentiments, and the latter definitely does not imply the former.

I can understand your objections to the post in question, and I would scoff at it, too. However, it's not because the goodness of modern medicine somehow makes slavery less bad. It's because the implication that you have to feel bad about any good thing as long as it was in some way contributed to by a bad thing is utterly idiotic.
