Moral responsibility can refer to two different but related things. First, a person has 'moral responsibility' for a situation if that person has an obligation to ensure that something happens. Assume that John promises to baby-sit for his neighbour while she goes to a job interview. However, he decides he will go to a concert instead. Arguably, John has moral responsibility for finding another appropriate babysitter for his neighbour. Second, a person has moral responsibility for a situation when it would be correct to morally praise or blame that person for the situation. If John fails to find an appropriate babysitter, then he might be said to have moral responsibility for his neighbour's failure to make her job interview. People who have moral responsibility for an action are usually called moral agents. Agents are creatures that are capable of reflecting on their situation, forming intentions about how they will act, and then carrying out that action. From Wikipedia under the

Japan hasn't showed much effort to revoke their militaristic past. Does anyone have more information on human experiments other than Unit 731?

Unit 731 was similar with regards to the experiments performed by the Nazi regime in power during the Mid-20th Century. However, while the Nazis were able to put forth "medical reasoning" for their experiments and intended to garner important research and findings. This could have quite possibly been a front, and most likely was, as some scholars and historians are finding. The Japanese, however, offered little reasoning, if any, and used Unit 731 as an extension of their genocidal policies toward the Chinese.
