experiments conducted during world war ii on living people.
the report details an experiment on the absorption action of yperite known as mustard gas which

this is a dissertation based on a medical experiment on living bodies to develop protective
army clothing.
it is part of a trove of documents stored at japan's national assembly's library and
released by a korean media outlet... prov ing that japanese army and university medical
schools conducted gruesome medical experiments on war prisoners and civilians while they
were still alive. it is the first evidence of such experiments
having been conducted by institutions other than the infamous japanese military unit 731
in china. the documents also reveal that medical department
s at nine imperial universities in japan during that time carried out similarly brutal medical
experiments.
even after 1930 the cruel experiments continued at other japanese universities. unfortunately
unit 731 wasn't the only one to conduct experiments on living people.
one of the most notorious cases of human experiment ation involved eight members of a u.s. air
force b-29 crew. the experiment was conducted in 1945 from
may to june at kyushu university in japan .
the american prisoners were subjected to viv isection and other gruesome experiments -- before
being killed. professors and students from the university
were later brought to trial on charges of wrongful removal of body parts and cannibal
ism. none were convicted of war crimes.
the japanese government has yet to comment on the revelation and has thus far only ever
acknowledged the existence of unit 731 not the experiments it was reported to have conducted
. sohn jung-in arirang news.
