Unit 731

Unit-731: Epidemic Prevention and Water Purification Department of the Kwantung Army Unit 731 was a research team under the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. Their main facilities were set up in 1938 in the northeastern region of China known as Manchuria, which was under Japanese occupation at the time. Led by Lieutenant Shiro Ishii, this unit focused on researching the usage of biological weapons, although the use of such weapons was prohibited under the Geneva Protocol. The research

731: Two Versions of Hell was a documentary directed and written by James T. Hong in 2007. The setting/subject for this documentary was a facility known as the Epidemic Prevention and Water purification Department of the Kwantung Army, or alternatively Unit 731, a biological and chemical warfare research center that was used by the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. It was located a Japanese controlled city called Harbin, the largest city of Manchukuo in Northeast China. The unit was used

the date of which marks the beginning of Unit 731, a shorten name for Epidemic Prevention and Water Purification Department of the Kwantung army. Unit 731 was part of a Japanese biological and chemical warfare research department with the goal of developing biological and chemical weapons for use by the Japanese Kwantung army. It was given the nickname Asian Auschwitz for its cruel human experimentations that they have conducted toward their prisoners. Unit 731 did not spare anyone from its experiments

happened to be during World War One. Where a man named Shiro Ishii built a top secret testing facility. Their goal was to gain knowledge by doing research on human beings. However, none of their research was completed in an ethical manner. Scientists in Unit 731 claimed to have been testing how humans would react to receiving an illness without having a vaccination. All humans who suffered from the illness ended up dying or almost dead. They were then transferred to a room for dissection, even if they were

Unit 731 was a secret research facility running illegally by Japanese scientists. The things that were done in this facility were inhuman and just plain cruel. Before researching, I had no idea what unit 731 was, or what happened there. This facility was the home of weird and cruel experiments done on humans, by other humans. Some of the things done here were giving people plague, freezing, and air compression chambers. What exactly is unit 731, and what was it used for? Unit 731 was a research

experimentation held by the Japanese Unit 731 during World War Two. Much like Victor Frankenstein, the unit performed many unethical experiments under the guise of science and knowledge. Following the end of the war, much information was lost, but the unethical nature of human experimentation still lies in the known experiments of Unit 731 which constantly crossed the lines of medical ethics; including the principles of beneficence, nonmaleficence, and autonomy. During the

dealing with Japan, because the Soviet Union and Britain had not gotten into as much conflict with Japan as America had. MacArthur began the investigation of Unit 731 because he dearly wished for the information garnered from these experiments, believing it to be invaluable to the military. Murray Sanders interviewed every person involved with Unit 731 and not one person spoke up. If America did not find out, then it was believed that the Soviet Union would get the information from Japan. Due to the Cold

After studying this unit in history and literature classes, I believe that technology hinders society and our personal lives. We've created a machine that can go beyond human knowledge. Mankind now depend a lot on technology... Skinner's in his quote, " The real problem is not whether machines think but whether men do. "After studying this unit in history and literature classes I believe that technology hinders society and our personal life. The impact of technology has hindered society and mankind

was over. During the trials of Unit 731, a deal was made with Ishii Shiro that the government is still trying to cover up. First, it is important to review Unit 731 and the U.S cover-up so that we may address more detailed issues concerning this topic. We will then explore the government statements on the issue of medical and military advances as a result of the deal, and explore evidence that provides a contrary conclusion. One of the greatest horrors of WWII, Unit 731, is often overlooked when talking

While Germany experimented with biological weapons in World War I, the Japanese military practiced biowarfare on a mass scale in the years leading up to and throughout World War II. China became the first nation to experience the horrors of World War II. During the invasion of China, Japanese forces used methods of warfare that led to mass death and suffering on new unimaginable level.      In 1932, a few months after Japanese troops moved into Manchuria, disguised as a
