Chemical weapons experiments on humans
MLEJNEK, Miroslav
Chemical weapons are justly considered by the human society as the oldest type of weapons of mass destruction. Unfortunately the same human society has continued to apply and further develop the ancient principles of use of combat chemical substances. The current world, despite all the humanistic efforts to terminate the history of this type of weapons, continues to be physically threatened by their abuse. I must say that studies of the history of chemical weapons are very demanding and comprehensive. The whole process of historic development of these combat means is interconnected by multiple relations and circumstances and unfortunately has been the source of a lot of inconceivable human suffering. That is why I decided to take the courage and thread the path leading to a look back at the past, for I believe that such a retrospective not only reveals stories that are already buried in the distant past and are not needed any more, but also leads to understanding the present, learning a lesson from past mistakes and acquiring a humble approach to life. On the basis of studies of the many available resources I tried to submit in my diploma thesis a complex summary of current as well as historic knowledge of combat chemical substances, their research and testing on humans. While the issue of chemical weapons and wars as such is paid a lot of attention, the issue of chemical weapon testing on people has still been a marginal theme. The abovementioned facts inspired this thesis and I believe that my diploma theses might be beneficial for its readers. My greatest desire and aim was to present to the readers the historic path of application and the related research and testing of chemical weapons. I hope I have processed the theme to be better understandable to the reader, both professional and lay. I tried to proceed systematically and make my thesis interesting to enrich not only me but also its readers.
