After sleeping with 10,091 men over 12 years in a drug and alcohol induced haze, former escort Gwyneth Montenegro is finally ready to settle down and experience true love for the first time. The 36-year-old received an astounding 80 marriage proposals after the last time the Melbourne resident spoke to Daily Mail Australia in July about the launch of her book, 10,000 Men and Counting. The overwhelming response to the insight into her former seedy lifestyle got Gwyneth thinking that maybe she was ready to meet a good man - something she never felt comfortable doing when being paid $500 to $1000 an hour to have sex with well-known lawyers, politicians and musicians.Gwyneth has only ever been in two relationships before that only lasted about a year. 'I’m contemplating it, I’d love to. I’ve never really experienced what you’d consider true love or what it’s like to be totally in love.'http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2855463/I-m-ready-love-Former-escort-turned-girl-door-slept-10-000-men-ready-settle-down.html?ito=social-facebook

(1) Rapid brain growth:Between 0 and 2 years, infant's brains triple in size, and continue in a state of rapid development to 21 years of age (Christakis 2011). Early brain development is determined by environmental stimuli,or lack thereof. Stimulation to a developing brain caused by overexposure to technologies (cell phones, internet, iPads, TV), has been shown to be associatedwith executive functioning and attention deficit, cognitive delays, impaired learning, increased impulsivity and decreased ability to self-regulate, e.g. tantrums (Small 2008, Pagini 2010). (2). Delayed Development :Technology use restricts movement, which can result in delayed development. One in three children now enter school developmentally delayed, negatively impacting literacy and academic achievement (HELP EDI Maps 2013). Movement enhances attention and learning ability(Ratey 2008). Use of technology under the age of 12 years is detrimental to child development and learning (Rowan 2010). (3.) Epidemic Obesity :TV and video game use correlates with increased obesity (Tremblay 2005). Children who are allowed a device in their bedrooms have 30%increased incidence of obesity (Feng 2011). About 30% of children with obesity will most likely develop diabetes, and obese individuals are at higher risk for early stroke and heart attack, gravely shortening life expectancy (Center for Disease Control and Prevention 2010). Largely due to obesity, 21st century children may be the first generation many of whom will not outlive their parents(Professor Andrew Prentice, BBC News 2002). (4.) Sleep Deprivation: 60%of parents do not supervise their child's technology usage, and 75% of children are allowed technology in their bedrooms (Kaiser Foundation 2010). 75% of children aged 9 and 10 years are sleep deprived to the extent that their grades are detrimentally impacted (Boston College 2012). (5.) Mental Illness:Technology overuse is implicated as a causal factor in rising rates of child depression, anxiety, attachment disorder, attention deficit, autism, bipolar disorder, psychosis and problematic child behavior ( Bristol University 2010, Mentzoni 2011, Shin 2011, Liberatore 2011, Robinson 2008). (6.) Aggression:Violent media content can cause child aggression(Anderson, 2007). Young children are increasingly exposed to rising incidence of physical and sexual violence in today's media. "Grand Theft Auto V" portrays explicit sex, murder, rape, torture and mutilation, as do many movies and TV shows. The U.S. has categorized media violence as a Public Health Risk due to causal impact on child aggression (Huesmann 2007). Media reports increased use of restraints and seclusion rooms with children who exhibit uncontrolled aggression. (7.) Digital dementia: High speed media content can contribute to attention deficit, as well as decreased concentration and memory, due to the brain pruning neuronal tracksto the frontal cortex (Christakis 2004, Small 2008). Children who can't pay attention can't learn. (8.) Addictions: As parents attach more and more to technology, they are detaching from their children. In the absence of parental attachment, detached children can attach to devices, which can result in addiction (Rowan 2010). One in 11children aged 8-18 years are addicted to technology (Gentile 2009). (9.) Radiation emission:In May of 2011, the World Health Organization classified cell phones (and other wireless devices) as a category 2B risk(possible carcinogen) due to radiation emission (WHO 2011). James McNamee with Health Canada in October of 2011 issued a cautionary warning stating "Children are more sensitive to a variety of agents than adults as their brains and immune systems are still developing, so you can't say the risk would be equal for a small adult as for a child." (Globe and Mail2011). In December, 2013 Dr. Anthony Miller from the University of Toronto's School of Public Health recommend that based on new research, radio frequency exposure should be reclassified as a 2A (probable carcinogen), not a 2B (possible carcinogen). American Academy of Pediatrics requested review of EMF radiation emissions from technology devices, citing three reasons regarding impact on children (AAP 2013). (10.) Unsustainable:The ways in which children are raised and educated with technology are no longer sustainable (Rowan 2010). Children are our future, but there is no future for children who overuse technology. |

It is expensive to learn from mistakes. But this is exactly what happens if you buy a phone without giving consideration to a few important points that can make buying a particular phone a worthwhile investment for you. In essence, there is a particular phone that suits you as an individual. So, what are those things you need to consider before buying a smartphone? (1)What do you need the phone to do for you? Do you need the phone only for calls and text messaging? Do you need it for your work? If so what are your work smartphone requirements? Would it be a lot of document works, calculations, drawings, note-taking, or emails? Do you need the phone for a lot of socializing and so photographs, videos, social apps? Are you very busy and you need assistance with a health monitor? Are you highly mobile and you require positioning apps? There are phones to do as little or as much as you need or want to do. However, if you determine exactly what you require to do and pick a phone that can do just that, you will avoid paying more for what you do not need. Take note that the more a phone can do, the more it will cost. The remaining part of this article will guide you through what phones can do and how to make a choice. (2)Screen Size and Quality If you need to watch a lot of movies, play a lot of games and use a lot of pictures, then you need a phone with a large screen. Incidentally, the size of the screen determines the size of the phone. So a large screen means a large phone. Therefore, if you want a phone with a compact design, fit for your jeans pocket and easy to operate with one hand, then go for a small screen. Whether the screen size is big or small, choose a screen with a good resolution if you need to work intensely on the screen. Resolution is represented by units of pixels. The higher, the better. (3)Processor The processor is at the center of the phone’s operation. Its strength determines how fast the phone works and how heavy a task the phone can undertake. So the more the multi-tasking and heavy apps that are required, the more powerful the processor that is needed. Processors range from the dual core to the octa core. (4)Random Access Memory (RAM) This is system memory for loading applications to be worked with. While only 512MB is okay for simple tasks of making calls, text messaging, internet browsing and reading e-mails, up to 3GB could be required for heavy tasks like playing high definition games. (5)Storage capacity Phones come with varying sizes of storage space. The user’s choice will depend on how much data, pictures, music, video and games are required to be kept. Options range from 2GB to 64GB of internal memory. Some phones also come with provision for extra storage in detachable memory cards of 32GB up to 128GB. (6)Battery capacity The brighter your display and the heavier the tasks you undertake, the more the load on the battery of your smartphone. So, if you undertake continuous heavy tasks on the phone, choose a phone with a large capacity battery. Battery capacity is measured in mAh. If you require a lot of battery power, you can choose a phone with a removable battery so that you can swap with an extra battery when the need arises. (7)Brand It is advisable to stick with the manufacturers that are known to be reputable and reliable. Otherwise, you might be spending on an experiment that may turn out to be unsuccessful and which may lead to a catastrophic loss of money and valuable data. A prospective smartphone buyer will do himself or herself a world of good by taking some time to examine a phone in line with the above points before making a purchase decision.https:///blog/7-things-to-consider-before-buying-a-smartphone/ |
A man sued his ex-wife over having ugly kids and he won. His ex-wife was ordered by court to pay him $120,000 in this bizarre case. This story started out with the man suing his wife because she gave birth to an ugly baby girl, but once DNA tests proved that the child was his, he sued her for having ugly children. He did this on the grounds of 'false pretenses' after finding out his ex-wife's beauty was due to plastic surgery before they met, according to “Fox and Friends First” on Friday, Nov. 8. The Chicago Nowradio station reports that Jian Feng, a Chinese man, sued his wife when she gave birth to an ugly daughter. He accused her of having an affair because the child did not look like him or his wife. When the DNA tests came back naming Feng the father of the girl, the wife came clean. Apparently the kids look like his wife, but before she had $100,000 worth of plastic surgery in South Korea before the couple ever met. It is obvious that looks are important to the couple, who look like the Chinese version of a Barbie and Ken doll. The wife spent a small fortune to look like she does today. The husband took his now ex-wife back to court to sue her for giving him three ugly kids. He sued her on the grounds of false-pretenses and won. The judge ruled that the wife never told Feng about the procedures “duping him into thinking she was beautiful.” The judge order the ex-wife to pay Feng $120,000. No matter how you try, there’s no way to sugar coat this horrible thing this man said about his kids. He explained in his own words how his superficial lawsuit came to be: “I married my wife out of love, but as soon as we had our first daughter, we began having marital issues,” Feng told the Irish Times. “Our daughter was incredibly ugly, to the point where it horrified me.” It was last year when this man made the news by first suing his wife over their daughter being so ugly that he just knew the wife had an affair. When the DNA came back he lost that case. This new case, where he sued his now ex-wife on the grounds of marrying his wife "under false pretenses" was just recently won in court. Some confusion around this story have some people calling it a "hoax" today because the first story came out about a year ago with the man suing his ex-wife over the paternity of his daughter. This is the second time this man dragged his wife into court to sue over their kid's appearances. While he won money because she lied to him, he started the lawsuit because the kids were "ugly." http://www.examiner.com/article/man-sues-ex-wife-over-ugly-children-and-wins-daughter-s-looks-horrified-him

A Saudi groom has divorced his bride on their wedding night after seeing her face for the first time when the photographer asked them to pose for pictures. The couple, from the Western Saudi town of Medinah, had agreed to marry each other despite having not met face to face - a popular custom in certain Middle Eastern countries. But when the bride removed her veil and smiled for the camera, her new husband leapt to his feet in disgust.'You are not the girl I want to marry,' he declared. 'You are not the one I had imagined. I am sorry, but I divorce you.'According to local daily Okaz, the bride immediately collapsed in a fit of tears as panicked wedding guests stepped in to try to resolve the dispute.But their efforts were to no avail. 'The groom said he had not been able to see his bride's face before marriage,' Okaz reported. 'When he divorced her, the bride collapsed and the wedding turned into a night of tears.' News of the jilting was met with anger on social media. Afra wrote on one social media network: 'He caused her great pain through his irresponsible attitude, and he deserves to suffer. 'He should appreciate that beauty is in the character, not the face. 'Unfortunately, many young people today are interested only in looks and ignore values and morals. 'May God give her a better husband who will appreciate her for who and what she is. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2837721/Saudi-husband-tells-bride-wants-divorce-wedding-seeing-face-time-photographer-asked-pose-pictures.html?ito=social-facebook

As strange as this might sound,this is possible.It is called Marital Rape.What is marital rape? Marital rape occurs when your spouse forces you to take part in certain sex acts without your consent. It is a form of intimate partner violence,i.e., an abuse of power by which one spouse attempts to establish dominance and control over the other. Research shows that it can be equally, if not more, emotionally and physically traumatizing than rape by a stranger. While every country has its own laws on the subject, broadly defined,marital rape includes “any unwanted intercourse or penetration (va.ginal, anal, or oral) obtained by force, threat of force, or when the wife is unable to consent.”So my question is,do you think this law is applicable in Nigeria? |

A man blamed his small penis for his girlfriend breaking up with him and decided to chop it off with a razor. But after cutting off his organ and throwing it in a bin, 22-year-old Oliver Ilic, was unable to stop the bleeding. He called emergency services and was taken to a hospital in Kocani, Macedonia, where he told medics he had decided to cut it off because it was no use. He explained his girlfriend had ended their relationship after telling him he was not good in bed.Police searched his house and found the severed penis in a bin along with the razor blade he had used. Local doctors were unable to reattach the organ and Mr Ilac was taken to another hospital in capital Skopje - where surgeons successfully reattached it in a five-hour operation.But it is too early to know if Mr Ilac's penis will function properly again.Another Macedonian man recently chopped off his own penis. But unlike Mr Ilic, the man flushed it away in the toilet so it was not able to be reattached.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2806653/Boyfriend-cuts-penis-throws-bin-girlfriend-dumps-bad-bed.html?ito=social-facebook

*.Kelly Rose adores her four-year-old West Highland White terrier, Matilda *.She admits she sometimes loves her more than her son, William *.Son is growing up and becoming independent *.But Matilda will always need her and is always affectionate *.Study found dogs trigger same parental instincts in adults as their children With her big brown eyes and constant need for cuddles and kisses, Matilda makes every maternal fibre of my being swell. Every time I look at her - or even a picture of her - my heart fills with immeasurable love and the desire to hold her close, bury my face in hers, protect and cosset her - the normal, all-encompassing feelings of intense love and responsibility that a mother has towards her child. But Matilda is not my daughter. She is my four-year-old West Highland White terrier, and I freely admit that I love her as much as I love my 11-year-old son, William. In fact, on some occasions I love her more than him. And I don't feel a bit guilty about admitting that. My son spreads mess around the house. He has to be chided and reminded to do his homework and put away his clothes, or told off for answering back, while my dear, sweet-natured Matilda is always obedient, even-tempered and brimming with affection.Everything I do for Matilda results in love and gratitude. Every plate of food is gulped down amid much tail-wagging and excitement; the mere mention of a walk produces yaps of joy and wet doggy kisses. By contrast, no matter how many meals I dream up for William, how many of his clothes I launder or how many times I take him swimming or to after-school clubs, I barely get a word of recognition or thanks. |
A new website has calculated the cost of an addiction in years and hours *.Smoking a pack of 20 cigarettes a day cuts ten years off a person's life *Drinking two or more alcoholic drinks every day cuts 23 years off a life *Cocaine addicts lose up to 34 years, with each dose costing 5.6 hours *Methadone users cut their lives by 38 years, and die at an average age of 41 *A heroin addiction will cut 42 years off a person's life, killing them at age 38 *Lifetime methamphetamine users lose 42 years, each dose costing 11 hoursYou might think that just one cigarette 'can't hurt'. But it could in fact cost a smoker almost 14 minutes of their life, according to new calculations. A new website has worked out how much time a smoker, alcoholic or a drug addict will lose, each time they use. For example, regularly smoking 20 cigarettes a day cuts ten years off a person's life, the website claims. Alcoholics cut their lives short by 23 years, while chronic cocaine users lose 34 years, it adds. Treatment4addiction, a website providing information people with drug and alcohol addictions, has calculated how many years an addiction to cigarettes, alcohol, cocaine, methamphetamine, methadone and heroine are cutting from their lives by continued use. Mephamphetamine addicts live to an average age of just 38, while heroin addicts don't fare much better, dying at on average at just 38 years old.One line of cocaine takes a chronic user five minutes closer to death, while a single methadone pill costs a user almost 13 hours.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2788399/how-years-drinking-drug-smoking-habits-shaving-life-terrifying-graphic-reveals-one-cigarette-cuts-14-minutes-alcoholic-drink-cost-7-hours.html?ito=social-facebook |

When James Lusted walked into a restaurant for a romantic meal with his fiancee he expected to be handed a menu. He didn’t think the waitress would also try to give him a children’s colouring book and some crayons. Unfortunately the well-meaning Harvester employee had mistaken him for a child – because while 26-year-old Mr Lusted, who has dwarfism, is just 3ft 7in tall, his 20-year-old fiancee Chloe Roberts towers over him at 5ft 7inIt was only when the waitress heard Mr Lusted’s deep voice that she realised her mistake. While she was covered in embarrassment, her gaffe was the highlight of the night for the couple who have been laughing about it ever since.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2787792/dwarf-took-5ft-7in-fianc-e-romantic-meal-given-children-s-colouring-book-crayons-waitress.html?ito=social-facebook

On the first day of her sophomore year of college, Emma Sulkowicz was raped in her dorm room bed. The Columbia University senior says the perpetrator was a fellow student. He still is — and has been since he allegedly assaulted Sulkowicz and two other female students. As Sulkowicz reported in Time earlier this year, all three cases against her offender were dismissed. So, she’s not taking it anymore. After joining a federal complaint in April over Columbia’s mishandling of rape cases and speaking out about the school’s failure to address her assault, Sulkowicz is now embarking on yet another effort — an artistic one — to make change on campus. For her senior thesis project, the visual arts major will perform what she is calling “an endurance art piece,” in which she will carry around a standard twin-size dorm room mattress with her everywhere she goes, until her rapist is removed from school.“A mattress is the perfect size for me to just be able to carry it — enough that I can continue with my day, but also heavy enough that I have to continually struggle with it,” Sulkowicz said in a video for the Columbia Spectator.“I think the other thing about beds it that we keep them in … our intimate space, our private space. But I think the past year or so of my life has been really marked by telling people what happened in that most intimate, private space and bringing it out into the light.” The piece, titled “Mattress Performance” or “Carry That Weight,” could go on for a day or until Sulkowicz graduates, she said. Either way, it will not end until change has been made.

Evil scares us. Arguably our best horror stories, the ones that give us nightmares, are about evil people doing evil things—especially evil experiments. The Island of Dr. Moreau by H.G. Wells is a classic that comes to mind. In modern cinema, movies like The Human Centipede continue that gruesome tradition. But these are fictional. The truth is that we need only look at recent human history to find real, live, utterly repugnant evil. Worse yet, it is evil perpetrated by doctors. Here are 10 of the most evil experiments ever performed on human beings—black and other people of color, women, prisoners, children and gay people have been the predominant victims. 1. The Tuskegee Experiments There’s a good reason many African Americans are wary of the good intentions of government and the medical estblishment. Even today, many believe the conspiracy theory that AIDS, which ravaged the African-American community, both gay and straight, was created by the government to wipe out African Americans. What happened in Tuskegee, Alabama in 1932 is one explanation for these fears. At the time, treatments for syphilis, a sexually transmitted disease that causes pain, insanity and ultimately, death, were mostly toxic and ineffective (things like mercury, which caused, kidney failure, mouth ulcers, tooth loss, insanity, and death). Government-funded doctors decided it would be interesting to see if no treatment at all was better than the treatments they were using. So began the Tuskegee experiments. Over the course of the next 40 years, the Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male denied treatment to 399 syphilitic patients, most of them poor, black, illiterate sharecroppers. Even after penicillin emerged as an effective treatment in 1947, these patients, who were not told they had syphilis, but were informed they suffered from “bad blood,” were denied treatment, or given fake placebo treatments. By the end of the study, in 1972, only 74 of the subjects were still alive. Twenty eight patients died directly from syphilis, 100 died from complications related to syphilis, 40 of the patients’wives were infected with syphilis, and 19 children were born with congenital syphilis. 2. The Aversion Project They didn’t like gay people in apartheid-era South Africa. Especially in the armed forces. How they got rid of them is shocking. Using army psychiatrists and military chaplains, who were, presumably privy to private, “confidential” confessions, the apartheid regime flushed out homosexuals in the armed forces. But it did not evict them from the military. The homosexual “undesirables” were sent to a military hospital near Pretoria, to a place called Ward 22 (which in itself sounds terrifying). There, between 1971 and 1989, many victims were submitted to chemical castrations and electric shock treatment, meant to cure them of their homosexual “condition.” As many as 900 homosexuals, mostly 16-24 years old who had been drafted and had not voluntarily joined the military, were subjected to forced “sexual reassignment” surgeries. Men were surgically turned into women against their will, then cast out into the world, the gender reassignment often incomplete, and without the means to pay for expensive hormones to maintain their new sexual identities. The head of this project, Dr. Aubrey Levin, went on to become a clinical professor at the University of Calgary. That is until 2010, when his license was suspended for making sexual advances towards a male student. He was sentenced to five years in prison for other sexual assaults (against males). 3. Guatemalan STD Study Syphilis seemed to bring out the inherent racism in government-funded doctors in the 1940s. Tuskegee’s black people weren’t the only victims of morally reprehensible studies of this disease. Turns out Guatemalans were also deemed suitable unknowing guinea pigs by the U.S. government. Penicillin having emerged as a cure for syphilis in 1947, the government decided to see just how effective it was. The way to do this, the government decided, was to turn syphilitic prostitutes loose on Guatemalan prison inmates, mental patients and soldiers, none of whom consented to be subjects of an experiment. If actual sex didn’t infect the subject, then surreptitious inoculation did the trick. Once infected, the victim was given penicillin to see if it worked. Or not given penicillin, just to see what happened, apparently. About a third of the approximately 1,500 victims fell into the latter group. More than 80 “participants” in the experiment died. The Guatemalan study was led by John Charles Cutler, who subsequently participated in the later stages of Tuskegee. In 2010, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton formally apologized to Guatemala for this dark chapter in American history. 4. Agent Orange Experiments Prisoners, like people of color, have often been the unwilling objects of evil experiments. From 1965 to 1966, Dr. Albert Kligman, funded by Dow Chemical, Johnson&Johnson, and the U.S. Army, conducted what was deemed “dermatological research” on approximately 75 prisoners. What was actually being studied was the effects of Agent Orange on humans. Prisoners were injected with dioxin (a toxic byproduct of Agent Orange)—468 times the amount the study originally called for. The results were prisoners with volcanic eruptions of chloracne (severe acne combined with blackheads, cysts, pustules, and other really bad stuff) on the face, armpits and groin. Long after the experiments ended, prisoners continued to suffer from the effects of the exposure. Dr. Kligman, apparently very enthusiastic about the study, was quoted as saying, “All I saw before me were acres of skin… It was like a farmer seeing a fertile field for the first time.” Kligman went on to become the doctor behind Retin-A, a major treatment for acne. 5. Irradiation of Black Cancer Patients During the Cold War, the U.S. and the Soviet Union spent much of their time trying to figure out if they could survive a nuclear catastrophe. How much radiation could a human body take? This would be important information for the Pentagon to know, in order to protect its soldiers in the event they were crazy enough to start an atomic holocaust. Enter the seeming go-to government choice for secret experimentation: unknowing African Americans. From 1960 until 1971, Dr. Eugene Saenger, a radiologist at the University of Cincinnati, led an experiment exposing 88 cancer patients, poor and mostly black, to whole body radiation, even though this sort of treatment had already been pretty well discredited for the types of cancer these patients had. They were not asked to sign consent forms, nor were they told the Pentagon funded the study. They were simply told they would be getting a treatment that might help them. Patients were exposed, in the period of one hour, to the equivalent of about 20,000 x-rays worth of radiation. Nausea, vomiting, severe stomach pain, loss of appetite, and mental confusion were the results. A report in 1972 indicated that as many as a quarter of the patients died of radiation poisoning. Dr. Saenger recently received a gold medal for “career achievements” from the Radiological Society of North America. 6. Slave Experiments It should be no surprise that experiments were often conducted on human chattel during America’s shameful slavery history. The man considered the father of modern gynecology, J. Marion Sims, conducted numerous experiments on female slaves between 1845 and 1849. The women, afflicted with vesico-vaginal fistulas, a tear between the vagina and the bladder, suffered greatly from the condition and were incontinent, resulting in societal ostracism. Because Sims felt the surgery was, “not painful enough to justify the trouble,” as he said in an 1857 lecture, the operations were done without anesthesia. Being slaves, the women had no say as to whether they wanted the procedures or not, and some were subjected to as many as 30 operations. There are many advocates for Dr. Sims, pointing out that the women would have been anxious for any possibility of curing their condition, and that anesthetics were new and unproven at the time. Nevertheless, it is telling that black slaves and not white women, who presumably would have been just as anxious, were the subjects of the experiments. 7. “The Chamber” Back to the Cold War. Prisoners were again the victims, as the Soviet Secret Police conducted poison experiments in Soviet gulags. The Soviets hoped to develop a deadly poison gas that was tasteless and odorless. At the laboratory, known as “The Chamber,”unknowing and unwilling prisoners were given preparations of mustard gas, ricin, digitoxin, and other concoctions, hidden in meals, beverages or given as “medication.” Presumably, many of these prisoners were not happy with their meals, although, being the gulag, records are spotty. The Secret Police apparently did finally come up with their dream poison, called C-2. According to witnesses, it caused actual physical changes (victims became shorter), and victims subsequently weakened and died within 15 minutes. 8. World War II: Heyday of Evil Experiments While evil experiments may have been going on in the U.S. during World War II (Tuskegee, for example), it’s hard to argue that the Nazis and the Japanese are the indisputable kings of evil experimentation. The Germans, of course, conducted their well-known experiments on Jewish prisoners (and, to a much lesser extent, Romany people and homosexuals and Poles, among others) in their concentration/death camps. In 1942, the Luftwaffe submerged naked prisoners in ice water for up to three hours to study the effects of cold temperatures on human beings and to devise ways to rewarm them once subjected. Other prisoners were subjected to streptococcus, tetanus and gas gangrene. Blood vessels were tied off to create artificial “battlefield” wounds. Wood shavings and glass particles were rubbed deep into the wounds to aggravate them. The goal was to test the effectiveness of sulfonamide, an antibacterial agent. Women were forcibly sterilized. More gruesomely, one woman had her breasts tied off with string to see how long it took for her breastfeeding child to die. She eventually killed her own child to stop the suffering. And there is the infamous Josef Mengele, whose experimental “expertise” was on twins. He injected various chemicals into twins, and even sewed two together to create conjoined twins. Mengele escaped to South America after the war and lived until his death in Brazil, never answering for his evil experiments. Not to be outdone, the Japanese killed as many as 200,000 people during numerous experimental atrocities in both the Sino-Japanese War and WWII. Some of the experiments put the Nazis to shame. People were cut open and kept alive, without the assistance of anesthesia. Body limbs were amputated and sewn on other parts of the body. Limbs were frozen and then thawed, resulting in gangrene. Grenades and flame-throwers were tested on living humans. Various bacteria and diseases were purposely injected into prisoners to study the effects. Unit 731, led by Commander Shiro Ishii, conducted these experiments in the name of biological and chemical warfare research. Before Japan surrendered, in 1945, the Unit 731 lab was destroyed and the prisoners all executed. Ishii himself was never prosecuted for his evil experiments, and in fact was granted immunity by Douglas MacArthur in exchange for the information Ishii gained from the experiments. 9. The Monster Study Add children to the list of vulnerable people subjected to evil experiments. In 1939, Wendell Johnson, University of Iowa speech pathologist, and his grad student Mary Tudor, conducted stuttering experiments on 22 non-stuttering orphan children. The children were split into two groups. One group was given positive speech therapy, praising them for their fluent speech. The unfortunate other group was given negative therapy, harshly criticizing them for any flaw in their speech abilities, labeling them stutterers. The result of this cruel experiment was that children in the negative group, while not transforming into full-fledged stutterers, suffered negative psychological effects and several suffered from speech problems for the rest of their lives. Formerly normal children came out of the experiment, dubbed “The Monster Study,” anxious, withdrawn and silent. Several, as adults, eventually sued the University of Iowa, which settled the case in 2007. 10. Project 4.1 Project 4.1 was a medical study conducted on the natives of the Marshall Islands, who in 1952 were exposed to radiation fallout from the Castle Bravo nuclear test at Bikini Atoll, which inadvertently blew upwind to the nearby islands. Instead of informing the residents of the island of their exposure, and treating the victims while they studied them, the U.S. elected instead just to watch quietly and see what happened. At first the effects were inconclusive. For the first 10 years, miscarriages and stillbirths increased but then returned to normal. Some children had developmental problems or stunted growth, but no conclusive pattern was detectable. After that first decade, though, a pattern did emerge, and it was ugly: Children with thyroid cancer significantly above what would be considered normal. By 1974, almost a third of exposed islanders developed tumors. A Department of Energy report stated that, “The dual purpose of what is now a DOE medical program has led to a view by the Marshallese that they were being used as ‘guinea pigs’ in a ‘radiation experiment.’” |
