    Oh sweet summer child. They didn’t lose consciousness. They were seen as a rare research opportunity because they were so irradiated. They were kept alive and conscious by Doctors despite their plees to be killed because the data was too valuable. Their families begged for them to be allowed to die but no one listened. Those workers experienced every second of a slow, agonizing, and humiliating death so we could gain a little more data.

      The truth is actually the opposite. If you read up on it, with Ouchi, he and his family wanted him to live, even when he was unconscious his family requested for the hospital to keep him alive. His family eventually requested a do not resuscitate order, and then he passed away 2 days later, on the 21st of December, with his wife hoping he’d make it to the 1st of January.
