Non-disclosure of medical information   

Abstract  
 

The non-disclosure of medical information by Japanese physicians is the most widely discussed topic in Japanese medical ethics, with more than 3000 articles published on this subject within a five year period [1]. Up until the 1980's, the unquestioned practice of Japanese doctors was to withhold a wide range of information from patients, particularly but not exclusively regarding cancer and poor prognoses. Diagnoses concealed from Japanese patients could extend to HIV seropositivity [2]. Psychiatric illness is highly stigmatized in Japan; for patients with schizophrenia, only 7% of psychiatrists in one study "always" informed a patient of the diagnosis [3]. When refering patients for psychiatric counseling, physicians might not reveal the nature of the referral, using instead vague terms such as "insomnia specialist " [4]. Reportedly, medicines of various types could be dispensed to patients with the labels removed [2].

On Aug. 13, 1985, British Independent Televison broadcast a documentary "Unit 731 - Did the Emperor Know ? ". It was producted by Peter Williams and David Wallace after years research, hinted broadly that Emperor Hirohito was aware of the human experiments. There was also an interview with retired Lt. Col. Murray Sanders, the first US investigator into Unit 731. Sanders claimed that Gen. Douglas MacArthur authorized him to make a deal with the Japanese if they cooperated with US Biological Warfare scientists.

By contrast, from the moment of Japanese surrender, US Government sought to exonerate the Emperor Hirohito and his relatives from any responsibility for the war. US still keeps many of its archives concerned with postwar Japan highly classified.


Unlike Germany where intensive de-Nazification procedures were employed to prevent former Nazis entering parliament and the bureaucracy, instead US allowed Japanese War Criminals to enter parliament and seek public office.

By protecting Hirohito from prosecution as a war Criminal and basically handed the Japanese government back to the same war Criminals, U.S. laid a solid foundation for Japan to refuse to confess, only to whitewash its war Crimes, e.g. distort History textbook, pay tribute to the Class-A War Criminals, never admit to the WMD Biological Warface etc. Instead, Japan systemically portray itself as Atomic Victim instead of atrocious Colonial War Criminal.


Therefore, under the U.S. Cover-up, when U.S. occupation ended in 1952, the Japanese government immediately pardoned ALL its War Criminals.


Another sinister reason for U.S. granted immunity from war crimes prosecution to the Japanese doctors of Unit 731 & Unit 100 was to exchange for their in-human data and helped covering up Japanese War Crimes so that U.S. could gain some advantages of the WMD Biological Weapon - An act utterly ignoring international laws and against Humanity.


Nazi doctors were held accountable for their crimes in the famous 1947 "Nuremberg Doctors Trials", but there were NO comparable "Japanese Doctors Trials"

That is exactly why U.S. is keeping thundering SILENT about Japanese war crimes.


Vast archive of Japanese military records that could confirm Japanese extreme war crimes, were in the hands of U.S. for 9 years after the war. In 1957, all Japanese military records were ordered to be returned to Japan. The reason given to the 1986's congress PoW hearing. John H. Hatcher, Army Record Management of US Army explained, "because the problem of language was too difficult for us to overcome.".

Before the WWII, Japan was quite aware of the social destruction that drugs could cause, as well as the devastating role that British Opium had brought onto China. Therefore, following British Opium footsteps, the Japanese distributed Opium , Heroin and Morphia along the Chinese coast.


After colonizing Korea, during its 36 years of brutal colonial governance of Korea, the Japanese forced Korean farmers to grow opium for Japan's opium operations .


In 1918, the Japanese opium profit in Taiwan alone had reached more than 8 Million yen.


On 1931 Sept 18, when China was still engaging in its Civil War, Japan seized the opportunity and carried out a coup known as the "Mukden Incident" or "918 Invasion" or "Manchurian Incident" and resumed its invasion and occupied much of the Northeastern part - Manchuria of China.

 

Japan immediately transformed Manchuria into a vast poppy field. Mitsui then processed Manchurian Opium into Heroin.


Japan became the largest Opium producer throughout the first half of the 20th century, initially in Korea, and then in Manchuria.


According to "A Fair Chance for Asia" by Putnam Weale, even as early as 1919, Japan already distributed 20 tons of morphia to China annually - sufficient to poison a whole nation.


By 1937, Japan and its gangster operated world's largest drug trafficking system and were responsible for 90 % of the world's illicit narcotics.


At 1937, in a League of Nations Opium Advisory Committee meeting, Russell Pasha declared Japan was responsible for virtually ALL of the world's illicit narcotics.


For details, refer to book Opium Empire: Japanese Imperialism and Drug Trafficking in Asia, 1895-1945.


The WMD Drug Warefare earned Japan $300 million (equivalent of $3.5 billion in 2001) per year from the bankrupt China with its Drug strategy of nation against nation.


To encourage addiction and further enslave the Chinese people in the occupied area, Japanese wartime occupation authorities distributed as much Opium , Heroin, and Morphia as possible. Japanese routinely used narcotics as payment for the labor. Heroin cigarettes were offered to children as young as ten. History professor Minser Searle Bates concluded that in Nanjing alone has about 50,000 drug addicted people, 1/8 of city population were using Opium and heroin.


Japan reinstated poppy farms. Koreans were put in charge of the illegal drug operations to ensure that no Japanese agents risked addiction.


Since 1773, British Opium had brought onto China More than a century of devastating social destruction and economic disasters, contributed to the ruin of a once-great China.


In the early 18th century, Britain was pushing Opium into China at an ever-increasing rate. Trade in opium was illegal in China, but British and other merchants unloaded their cargo offshore, selling it to Chinese smugglers. By the early 19th century, China was completely corrupted and weakened by the British Opium.


As a result, both the Chinese central and local government officials were completely corrupted by this addictive drug. Opium infected China so badly that addicts were even found in the military. From the Imperial Palace to lowly labourers, tens of Millions families broken. The whole nation was on the verge of collapse.


The number kept growing and grew exponentially. By 1820, just one city Soochow alone had already 100,000 addicts.


The drug traffic caused a disastrous outflow of China's wealth. In 1793, China's silver reserve was estimated at 70 million taels of silver (approximately 2.6 million kilograms). By 1820, it had been reduced to only about 10 million taels . . However, even in 1820, China was still generating 1/3 of the world's gross domestic product. By 1950, that share had fallen to only 5%.


Alarmed, Emperor of China declares war on Drugs. Emperor appointed Lin Tse-Hsu to suppress the Opium traffic. Twice Lin wrote Letter to Queen Victoria to seek her intercession, but to no avail. Finally resulted in 2 Opium Wars with Britain.
