The Most Horrifying Human Experiments Of All Time | Random Thursday

Imagine the experiments the public isn’t aware of.

"This is the most disturbing thing i've talked about on this channel, and I'm the severed head guy" Me, who just stumbled on this channel: "The what now"

"They tought darker skin would make them more resistant." I know a BS excuse when I hear one

Thank you for covering unit 731. It makes me feel crazy because the only people I know who know about it only know because I told them. It's so rarely talked about yet it's on the list of most horrific things humans have done. We can't bury our history, we need to be aware so we don't repeat it.

Germany: invents mustard gas USA: "Omg that's horrible, I want it"

The one thing that Humans have learned from History, is that we don’t learn from History.

Every time I'm exposed to the incomprehensible atrocities humans have committed against others, I grow more resolute in my determiniation to practice kindness, help others, and beleive that we can do better. Maybe I'm naive, a bleeding heart, an idealist, but if there are those who can manifest such intense cruelties from their beleifs then we can at least try to manifest peace and security from our own.

Unit 731is the most disturbing thing that I knew about growing up. There was a book about it called Black sun 731, and a movie was made under that name. I remember a scene where a body was dragged either by their guts or with their guts hanging out, and testing people for frostbite totally shook me. I can't imagine the things/ experiments we don't know about.

"They experimented on how mustard gas affected the human body" All they had to do was ask the 1000s of troops who were gassed by it during WW1. Why the hell did they need to gas more people.

Exactly why we should NEVER try to erase our History no matter how bad so we don’t repeat it.

Im German. The name Mengele alone gives me goosebumps. Its mandatory to visit a KZ with School, we visited the one in Dachau. Its bone chilling. But at the very least, we take our countrys history very seriously.

i’ve never seen what happens with untreated syphilis. not only is that horrifying, but it makes the experiment even worse

Out of everything in this video, what curdles my blood the most is having an autopsy performed while alive with no anesthesia, jfc that is...unimaginable

The Stanford Prison experiment was discredited when several of the guards revealed they were given extra credit or cash for extra brutality.

Wanna know the worst thing about unit 731? I could totally happen again. I live in Japan, and not only are they not apologetic to past mistakes and try to justify them, the general sentiment that created the situation in the first place is still there. It's creepy to live in Japan sometimes for how blind they are, if a superior tells them to do something, there is no ethical question, they will 100 porcent do it. Out of fear of being ostracized for not complying with everyone else.

I remember studying the Stanford Prison Experiment when I was a Sophomore in High School. I read all the first hand accounts. It struck me then and still strikes me now as just a bunch of over dramatic 20 somethings getting way too into a role play situation, and over exaggerating everything because they were, ya know, 20 something college kids.

Actually, the captives at Unit 731 were called “丸太” (maruta) which does translate to “logs,” but as in “wooden logs.” The meaning comes from them disposing of the dead bodies through incineration, like logs on a fire.

Sadly, this video could have gone for a lot longer...

Thank you for talking about Unit 731. It has always baffled me why people in the west generally don't know about such horrific and large scale tortures.

Talk about underplaying what was done at the Tuskegee Institute. Those being tested on were never told. They were offered free medical care if they were accepted. They had blood tests done and weren't told they had syphilis. They had to agree NEVER to get outside medical care. "You know that thing that you have? Uh, no... What thing?" They weren't allowed to enter the military because they COULDN'T be tested by the military doctors. They were never told they had it and we're prevented from finding out they had it or that that's what it's about
