I worry about allowing Japan, a country that has refused to fully own up to the biomedical atrocities it committed with Unit 731, to lead the way on these kinds of experiments. I would feel much more comfortable if there was international ethical oversight.
- madez 7y ago> I worry about allowing Japan It's not up to you.
- sdinsn 7y agoI'm not sure why you got downvoted and flagged. You are absolutely right; what Japan wants to do in their own country is their own decision.
- madez 7y agoThe votes also fluctuated a bit before settling. It's unclear to me why it got flagged. To me, my comment is an obvious and factual correction. Maybe it was flagged because I corrected someone tersely who has been downvoted a lot already. But then, other short corrections in these situations don't get flagged. Maybe there is a special sensitivity towards the topic of US-American exceptionalism and neo-imperialism. Who can flag? Only Dang?

- ETHisso2017 7y ago>1945 was a long time ago and a very different Japan Japan is currently sanctioning Samsung because it wants to avoid responsibility for WW2 sexual slavery.
- vorpalhex 7y agoThat's a horrendous mis-statement of a convoluted political issue. Japan has no sanctions against Samsung directly, they are upset that materials they export to South Korea keep showing up in North Korea, while SK denies being the cause. There's a separate case which was decided in SK courts claiming in short that Japan should give SK more reparations, because of course a court is going to consistently find in favor of their own country versus a luke-warm neighbor over a historical tension.
- nojap 7y ago> Japan has no sanctions against Samsung directly, they are upset that materials they export to South Korea keep showing up in North Korea, while SK denies being the cause. This is flat out bullshit. Photoregist, hydrogen fluoride, fluorine polyimide are all together mainly used for photolithography/OLED. It is not a coincidence. It is very obvious that Japan targeted Samsung and their primary goal is to ruin the Samsung and hynix's(SK semiconductor industry) business, ultimately to harm SK economy(semiconductor industry is significant to SK economy). They do this because of the recent SK courts' verdict and Japan don't like to admit nor apologize horrendous war crimes they committed in WW2. Just repeating Japan's specious pretexts(that to avoid potential WTO issues and get plausible deniability) that they are doing this because of NK is disingenuous.
- vorpalhex 7y agoRepeating your point above word for word before you switched accounts doesn't make your argument any stronger. Hydrogen flouride is used directly in weapons manufacturing.
- colechristensen 7y agoIt seems like every country is more or less guilty of the same.
