Crazy Experiments

You can thank science for many things that make up our world, such as food storage, clean water and comfortable homes. However, stories like Frankenstein or the Jurassic Park have shown us that the path to innovation can sometimes lead to gruesome immoral choices. I present to you some of the most controversial experiments ever conducted during which scientists were so obsessed with the question of whether they would succeed if they did not stop to wonder if they should do it, enjoy.

During the 1950s, CIA scientists began experimenting with mind control, using LSD, electroshock therapy, and sound repetition. Most of their findings were destroyed during the Watergate scandal, but there is evidence that the government then dosed naive citizens with drugs to gain their respect.

Briches was the name of a monkey who was taken from his mother and forced to test on animals at the University of California. He was tested for a prototype sonar device for blind people. The only problem was that Bricis was not blind. Scientists sewed uphis eyes. He was eventually released by the Animal Liberation Front during a 1985 raid.

3. Testicular transplantation to criminals

Leo Stanley, the chief physician of the San Quentin prison in 1913, believes that the men who committed the crimes had less testosterone than other people, so he tested his theory by giving the prisoners new testicles. Due to the lack of testicles, he sometimes gave prisoners animals instead of human ones.

4. Skin firming

In an effort to harden the soldiers' skin, Albger Kligman did experiments on prisoners. He would inject them with dangerous chemicals, but all his unfortunate subjects came out of the experiment with burns and permanent scars.

5. Stanford Prison Experiment

Respondents were organized into two groups. Some were "guards" and others "prisoners." Although arbitrarily labeled with roles, the “guards” very quickly began to display sadistic behavior and forced the “prisoners” to strip naked and sleep on hard concrete. One "prisoner" was so dehumanized that he had a nervous breakdown and was forced to leave the experiment.

6. A shocking experiment of obedience

Participants in this experiment were told by scientists that they had to press a button that would give an electric shock to another person in the room. The person receiving the "shock" is actually just an actor pretending, but of course the participant didn't know about it. All he was told was that because of the experiment, he had to continue to shock the person and raise the tension until they stopped moving. The study showed that 65% of people would still shock a person even after that person would scream in pain. Shocking, isn't it?

7. Harl's experiment in isolation

The monkeys were separated from their mothers as babies and forced into Harl's "pit of despair", more precisely a cage with only a bottle of water to keep them company. The point of this project was to examine the impact of isolation on child development and subsequent depression. Not surprisingly, baby monkeys have become depressed. They also developed physical problems such as indigestion.

8. Syphilis experime

A public health center in America deliberately injected black people with syphilis in order to study the effects. The effects, of course, were terrible on the skin and eventually the subjects died. The government seems to have neglected to treat them after infecting them. By the way, this happened between 1932 and 1970, which is 40 years! It lasted longer than the rule of one president. It turned out that the whole "crazy scientist" project could not be limited to cartoons. The crazy thing is that all these people thought they were doing a great service to humanity and were willing to continue their dubious work at any cost.
