The UNSC comparison is apt. Cerberus made super soldiers that didn't quite pan out in the end. the UNSC did too, and they had a near 70% lethality rate so it didn't really pan out how they wanted. And, when you think about it, of the 330 ish SPARTAN 2 and 3s, less a dozen of them were truly effective, in the sense that they kept surviving and winning engagements.. they were: John, Fred, Kelly, Jai, Adriana, Mike, Linda, and maybe Serin Osmand, considering that she washed out due to augmentation rejection and returned to active duty and the behest of ONI. Maybe both super soldier programs could have worked and maybe they could have been total failures but they still were equally as (to most people, not myself) unethical.
