The Twisted Science of Apartheid South Africa

Описание: The apartheid regime of South Africa was known for many atrocities and crimes against humanity such as institutionalizing and legalizing a brutal regime of racial segregation that oppressed millions of people classified by the regime as “nonwhite” by restricting their movement and denying them access to education or even passports or actual citizenship. From the birth of the regime in 1948 to its downfall in 1994, there was fierce resistance coming mostly from those the regime classified as “black,” whom made up the majority of the population. However, some of the lesser known nefarious activities of the apartheid regime were their twisted attempts to innovate within the realms of science and technology with the sole intent of coming up with novel ways to control and oppress “nonwhites” or anyone in general who resisted the regime. From attempting to create a wolf dog hybrid to developing a bomb that would only kill people of a particular ethnicity to trying to change the sexual orientation of homosexual peoples through the use of electrical shocks their scientific adventures ranged from the bizarre to the outright grotesque.
