This article make a big stink about how mentioning that he had genes that showed "very high" scores for a predisposition to autism, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and how we shouldn't mention that because it might make people with these disorders feel more Hitlery. It also says he had similar genes for having a micropenis but doesn't show the same concern for people with this affliction. Well, Lemmy, does this new information make you feel more Hitlery?

What is the scientific value of it and why can't those values be realised in a way that does not even raise ethical concerns?

The best argument for it was that eventually someone would do it and they may just as well do it rigorously.

Yes, fascism negates the rights of the fascists. It has to in order to protect free society.

It's call the Paradox of Tolerance, and is very difficult for centrist liberals to understand.

The faster you string fascists up, the better off society will be. The body? Who cares, do what you want with it.

It's not fascist, to be "fascist against fascism".

The way I've reconciled the Paradox of Tolerance for myself is to view tolerance as part of a social contract. The social contract demands that tolerance be extended to everyone who in turn accepts that social contract themselves. "Being tolerant" doesn't necessarily require that tolerance to be given out indiscriminately. Like how I wouldn't consider a vegan any less a vegan if they ended up having to kill something in self-defense, even if they had to kill it by biting chunks out of it.
