In order to prevent the research falling into the hands of the [[Soviet Union]] (and thus being used to eradicate capitalism) at the onset of the [[Cold War]], the Americans offered the Japanese perpetrators immunity from their [[War crime|crimes]] in exchange for the data, to learn from [[human]] experimentation that would be illegal in the [[US]].
