A few years ago, a United States-based non-profit group uncovered a shocking brain-injury-inducing machine invented by Chinese researchers in a medical university in Chongqing that could be used on humans to render them brain dead but keep other organs healthy. Three years later, the same medical university released a study on using live pigs as crash test dummies, sparking outrage.

Crash Test Dummies

The research, which was conducted by Institute for Traffic Medicine (ITM), China’s Third Military Medical University, now known as the Army Military University (AMU) and affiliated with Daping Hospital, had used 15 young pigs, which were aged between 70 and 80 days old, as crash dummies to test the potential impact of automobile collisions in child seats. Seven pigs died instantly while others sustained several degrees of injury.
