But we did throw away all the research they did on unwilling human subjects even though it could conceivably have lead to better science if we ignored all the "racist bullshit"...
- fosk 8y agoNo, we did not. Introducing you to Japanese Unit 731 [1] that was conducting atrocious human testing during World War 2 and whose information was happily collected afterwards with the promise of “forgetting” about the crimes committed. > Shiro Ishii, as the chief of the unit, was granted war crime immunity from the US occupation authorities, because of his provision of human experimentation research materials to the US.
