#5 - Human Experimentation (Part One)

#5 - Human Experimentation (Part One)

In part one, we take a dark journey through bioethical history, starting with the Russians, Nazis, and Japanese during WWII. We look at everything from attempts to crossbreed chimpanzees and humans, to the Japanese plague-bombs that were dropped on Chinese citizens by Unit 731. From sewn-together Mengele twins to innocent victims being dragged out into the nearest field and cut open for analysis, this episode is not for the faint of heart. Along the way we will consider how institutions enable evil, why the Japanese were granted immunity despite committing crimes against humanity, and how fascist imperialism sowed the seeds of WWII. In part 2 we turn the lens around on the USA, with terrifying results. We get into it over a bottle of Lone Wolf gin in episode 5 of Abstracts. *** Music https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Cambo Media https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tx7loRv70y8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFpcFScVKog https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWGtSGIxyBQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcpUi7KBxz0&t=1679s
