> we justify experimenting on a known serial killer if the experiment will save a million children's lives in the next 10 years?

Without hesitation. A serial killer is someone who believes murder is acceptable and turnabout is fair play. Provided they are actually guilty there is little that is unjustified when dealing with willfully violent actors such as that. Add in now this person who has harmed society can be used to repair it and I can't think of anything more fair in a cosmic sense.

"Don't worry, that willcipriano guy we experimented on and murdered was a known serial killer. Never mind that he was a political dissident or whatever."

This is a thought experiment in the real world you wouldn't know for a fact that ten million children would be saved or if the person is actually guilty but if you did the choice is unambiguous.
