Talk:Japanese human experimentation

If the web-page which I'm paraphrasing is not copyright please paste it in.Paraphrasing is hard work. Barbara Shack

It would be interesting to know if the Japanese did any experiments on Dutch people as well during WWII

I have been unable to find the section giving reasons for deleting this on the page with votes for deletion. My personal page sxplained possible difficulties over copyright. I discussed the matter there.

• Japanese human experimentation has merit, but is just too hackneyed and likely NPOV as it stands. Title needs a change too... Human experiments by Japanese government? -- user:zanimum
  • Delete and merge if only focused on Unit 731 (which has its own page). Expand if there is more to it. - Texture 17:20, 30 Jan 2004 (UTC)
  • I vote to make in into a redirect or delete. The topic is searchable by "human experimentation" Mikkalai 19:02, 30 Jan 2004 (UTC)
  • redirect to Unit 731 if not fixed into something more general by the time the waiting period is over. --Jiang
  • I found it unpleasant to paraphrase material about people being deliberately frozen to death and the like. Despite this I felt it important to keep the memory or the holocaust and the Japanese atrocities alive. If we are aware of what happened in the past it is less likely that similar things will happen in the future. It is a good idea to put a brief note at the bottom of each page explaining that these atrocities are past and that both Japan and Germany are now stable democracies. If the problem is simply about copyright the new version of the page is acceptable. Basrbara Shack
    • Not a vote. see also Nazi human experimentation by the same user. Both seem to be minor rewording of source material to avoid copyvios rather than original articles. Bmills 10:07, 2 Feb 20:26, 30 Jan 2004 (UTC)
  • keep, unless you havew some evidence that this is innaccurate or vandalism. Jack 12:19, 2 Feb 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. This article may have potential ... they just had a special on the Discovery Channel, IIRC, on Unit 731 ... but there are probably other examples. BTW, the Head Japanese "Doc" [and I use that loosely] of 731 made Josef "Angel of Death" Mengele look like a boyscout. JDR
    • Redirect to medical ethics article. JDR
  • Keep but move. Needs to be an example in an article on Medical ethics. Geneva convention, Nurnberg trials, current medical ethics, issues surrounding the Tuskeegee experiment. Notable example. Stephen Holland, M.D. Kd4ttc 03:25, 3 Feb 2004 (UTC)
    • Good suggestion. JDR 23:57, 4 Feb 2004 (UTC)
  • Merge with Unit 731 and redirect, since the page is about Unit731 anyway. 80.126.238.189 15:23, 3 Feb 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Factual. Can't understand ungoing deletionmania.The Fellowship of the Troll 03:23, 5 Feb 2004 (UTC)
