was extremely disturbing. Not just for what the Japanese did, but also for the
fact that all of them got pardoned if they shared their results. That makes it
seem like it was all okay. They never apologized or atoned for the wrongs that
they did.What Ishii
and all of Unit 731 did is horrible. The things they did deprived people of their
humanity. They were treated worse than animals. It is disturbing to think of
cutting and dissecting people when they could feel it, and even that they were
still alive. It is also horrible that the doctors and assistants got used to
cutting humans open alive, and the screams that the emitted. Science is
horrible excuse for these crimes; especially with the fact that some did not
even have a scientific purpose. They did
all of this to find biological weapons that were outlawed in the Geneva Protocol.
The Japanese signed this and they still went about with this project. Even if Emperor
Hirohito did not know what was going on many government officials knew all too
well about this. The Emperors younger brother and the prime minister of Japan
knew about these experiments. They even supported the acts that went on in Unit
731. The Japanese
may have had less prisoners, but I fear that these people should have been
treated the same as the Nazi higher-ups. I think that there were many better
ways to find out a lot of the information that was uncovered at Unit 731. They did
not need to cut people open alive to remove their organs, or inject them with
strange things. Some of the things did not have a medical purpose at all like
injecting someone with horse urine. I don’t see a purpose in cutting off limbs
and sewing them back on the wrong way.These things were all crimes against
humanity, and should have been treated as such. They should not have peen
pardoned for their crimes. That puts the US down to the level of those who committed
the experiments. I think the Japanese should have had to send out apologies. They
started plagues and did such horrible thing to so many people, yet they don’t have
to apologies for anything, all because they gave out the results of the results
of their twisted acts? I think the Japanese committed a horrible wrong but the
US should not have pardoned. This whole situation is just messed up.
