Japan’s notorious germ warfare Unit 731 and its horrific human experiments remain one of the most heart-wrenching chapters of World War II.
Recently, RT released the documentary "Death Factories," taking viewers back to the 1930s to explore how a delusion of so-called "Japan’s exceptionalism" fused with an obsession over biological weapons. The film shows how science was perverted into an instrument of mass killing, and how once-respected researchers became architects of unimaginable horror.
By revisiting this dark history, "Death Factories" forces us to confront the dangers when ideology hijacks scientific inquiry. It’s a stark reminder that vigilance and ethical safeguards are essential whenever nations pursue advanced technology under the banner of national pride.
