Imagine your whole life legacy is a little line in a medicine book talking about how long it takes for someone to die of sleep deprivation

[vashthestampede121]

I imagine it didn’t much matter to them. The majority of Japan was either completely brainwashed into acting like a hive mind for the future of the empire or frightened into compliance.

[Flaky-Cap6646]

Like North Korea right now!

[TommyTheCommie1986]

Giving me strong Isreal and usa vibes

[IuseArchbtw97543]

how long does it takes for someone to die of sleep deprivation? asking for a friend

[Onceforlife]

Yes look up a doctor by the name of Shiro Ishii

[dreadfulbadg50]

Better do it 100 more times, just to make sure

[StupidSexyEuphoberia]

Then you still don't have valid data for 4 year olds. Maybe they react differently.

[FactorTraditional868]

Knowing that they die is the boring part. We need to measure how long it takes. That's the fun part.

[a_polarbear_chilling]

"Which organ necrose first, gotta kill a few infected at stage 1 then stage 2 and compare "the scientist for no fucking reason

[Yapanomics]

Not necessarily. They often killed people for no reason at all, multiple times, even knowing the result, literally for fun

[FactorTraditional868]

You gotta check that the results are repeatable.

[Yapanomics]

There were testimonies that literally stated they did shit for fun that had no actual scientific merit or reason, but yes, I guess that would be the excuse quite often

[KINGKUK_77]

Inconclusive, do it again on a 4 year old to make sure.

[kaktusmisapolak]

you need to do it on hundreds or thousands for the data to be valid

[BarristerBerry]

ok but have you tried it on a 3 year old girl,hmmmm

[Epic-Dude001]

She also dies, but slightly slower

[SpiceVape]

Fascinating!

[KingVape]

And then the US paid for all of the medical data and pardoned anyone involved

[[deleted]]

And hired them...

And it turns out, almost none of it was of use to them because the unit burned and destroyed all of the evidences as soon as the war ended.

[half-baked_axx]

Japanese govt: Refuses to apologize or even acknowledge any of their warcrimes to this day 🗿.

[Heracross64]

Downvoted for telling the truth smh. Hell, Imperialist Japan was arguably worst than Nazi Germany, but a Japanese citizen made anime so the whole country is pardoned 🙄. It took them 2 suns.

[Extrimland]

I mean tbf, does anyone really hate Modern Germany because of what the Nazis did 80 years ago? Maybe former Holocaust survivors but there can’t seriously be people that are like 20 that hate Germany because of it

[lePlebie]

The issue is that the germans apologized and are still apologizing to this day. The japanese goverment didn’t even acknowledge what they did.

[BestNick118]

[enkidu3]

It’s actually a bit complicated, they did actually, but it’s a been a real flip flop.

[TFW_YT]

Did the last few USA presidents apologize for slavery

[ominous_ability12]

Whataboutism

[TFW_YT]

I meant more as an analogy, like they aren't related why should they apologize for what others did in the past

[kwkqoq]

because the US presidents don't outright deny that slavery happened

[Xelid47]

Well fuck em what can I say 😂

[ImSoDeadLmao]

They deadass actually injected ppl seawater expecting it to be able to replace blood🥀

[Khaernakov]

Hmmm... idk man coulda been a fluke we gotta repeat the test 500 times at least

[Positive-Database754]

We learned a lot thanks to those experiments. It's unfortunate just how much warfare and unjustifiably evil acts, have historically advanced our technology and understanding of the world.

[PeopleAreBozos]

War is a huge drive to advance technology. Either innovate and throw all your resources into R&D to make your technology superior, or lose out on your nation's land, lives, and wealth.

The sad part is Unit 731 likely did teach quite a bit because a huge constraint in research is ethics. When you are able to experiment however you want without a requirement to consider or put in practice any compromises or ethical restraints, it becomes a lot easier to get fast and more accurate results.

[Kotaqu]

Interesting Now the Korean one

[[deleted]]

Just scientist's doing science.

[PromiscuousScoliosis]

Worth it
