Over time, experiments investigating the ethics and behavior beyond. Unlike the independent experiments, when scientists do not wish to harm the subjects and be themselves in their role, there are those in which people in white robes head to go into conceived and played on the feelings of the living. So in some cases, subjects take the role of prisoners, slaves and even family members of scientists. To your attention the ten most evil science experiments ever conducted on humans.
10. The Stanford prison experiment
One of the most famous psychological experiments in the circles of the inhabitants. It was conducted in 1971 by American psychologist Philip Zimbardo and was a study of human response to limitation of freedom, in the conditions of prison life and the impact of social roles on people. As a volunteer scientist took 24 students from the bachelor, which he considered the most healthy and psychologically stable, and then put in the basement of the faculty of psychology, where he plans everything to the smallest detail – the garment of naziratel", their powers, the Supervisory camera and even point. "Prisoners," by the way, for greater credibility, forcibly taken from their homes and executed in this police Department, and then brought to the basement.
All the guys so quickly accustomed to their roles that, contrary to expectations, between them began to arise a dangerous situation and hostility. So every third guard showed up sadistic, and prisoners, in turn, was severely traumatized mentally and some physically. Two participants were excluded prematurely. On the second day there took place a riot, the guards voluntarily went to overtime without a guide, and among the prisoners started a mutiny, and then calmed them with a fire extinguisher. After this incident, the guards (by order of Zimbardo) began to bleed the prisoners to each other, into thinking that there are so-called "whistleblowers". However initially, the experiment was conceived in order to help the participants to get used to IDs, but it turned into hour test, in which guards tormented the prisoners and subjected them to physical nakatanim.
Soon a psychologist was accused and criticized what he stated publicly that "to blame the abuse of a few "bad apples" rather than acknowledge it as a systemic problem officially established the military system, much easier".
9. Project 4.1
Project 4.1 – secret medical research of the United States government over the inhabitants of the Marshall Islands who were exposed to radiation after the nuclear tests at Bikini Atoll March 1, 1954. The Americans did not expect such effect from radioactive contamination: miscarriages and stillbirths among women have doubled in the first five years after the test, and many of those who survived, soon fell ill with cancer.
The U.S. Department of energy commented on the experiments: "...Research on the effects of radiation on humans could be conducted in parallel with the treatment of victims of radiation". And further: "...the people of the Marshall Islands were used in the experiment as Guinea pigs.
8.1 Project MKULTRA
The project МКULTRA is the code name for a secret program of the American Department of the CIA whose purpose was to find and research a means of manipulation of consciousness, for example, to recruit agents or to extract information during interrogations, in particular, with the use of psychoactive chemical substances have an impact on human consciousness).
However, participants in the experiments proved people are completely unsuspecting of the fact – those who asked for help in the Allan memorial Institute with minor problems such as neurosis anxiety or postpartum depression. The participants in the experiments continuously for several months injected chemicals or electrical discharges in a coma and forced to listen to tape recorded and repeatedly reproduced sounds or simple duplicate command. The purpose of these experiments was development of methods for erasing the memory and a complete alteration of personality.
As you know, this program existed in the early 50-ies, and, at least until the end of the 60-ies, and a number of indirect signs she continued later. The CIA deliberately destroyed key files of the program MKULTRA in 1973, the year that has significantly hampered the investigation into his activities by the U.S. Congress in 1975.
7. Project MKULTRA
Project MKULTRA is the code name for a secret program of the American Department of the CIA whose purpose was to find and research a means of manipulation of consciousness, for example, to recruit agents or to extract information during interrogations, cproject "Averse"
A secret program, carried out by the army of South Africa in the period from 1970 to 1989-th year. Its essence was to clear the ranks of the army from the military based on sexual orientation. Entrance were any funds as barbaric and health: electroshock treatment to chemical castration. And those who did not respond to this kind of treatment, were sent to shock therapy, where he was forced to take hormones and even subjected to sex change operations. The exact number of victims is unknown, however, according to army doctors, "cleaning" was subjected to about 1,000 members, it was young white men aged 16 to 24 years.
6. The experiments of the Nazis
A series of medical experiments of Nazi scientists over people is perhaps the most insensitive thing in the history of mankind. The scale of these experiments it is terrible to imagine, and the number of territories furnished to the concentration camps during the Second world war, is not subject to perception.
The main figure in these experiments was Josef Mengele, the German doctor who conducted experiments on prisoners of Auschwitz. he had a passion for the twins, he also showed interest in physiological abnormalities, in particular to the dwarfs. Much of the work was Mengele experiments on prisoners, including the anatomy of live infants; the castration of boys and men without ispolzovaniiem; among other things, he subjected the women to the shocks of high voltage to test their endurance. Once he even sterilized a group of Polish nuns with an x-ray radiation. During 21 months of his work at Auschwitz earned a reputation as one of the most dangerous Nazis, was nicknamed the angel of Death. He personally met a train of prisoners who came to the camp and decide which of them will be working in the camp, who will go on his experiences, and who immediately sent to the gas chamber. Not counting the maimed the lives of their subjects, during the operation the doctor sent over 400,000 people to the gas chambers and death camps.
5.
The monstrous experiment Johnson
This psychological eksperiment, in the field of speech development, held in 1939, and in it 22th orphans from Davenport were involved. Wendell Johnson, a scientist from the University of Iowa showed him together with his graduate student Mary Tudor. The essence of the experiment was to teach proper speech two groups of children, but the children of the nurture and praise, and from another curse and ridicule. Thus, the scientists wanted to test and confirm the theory that psychological pressure causes a delay of speech in children and results in the symptoms of stuttering. As a result, children without any problems with the speech, as a result formed and evolved after the clearly marked signs of stuttering. However, details of this experiment emerged out only in the year 2001. It is known that with the experimental group of children treated much worse than expected - they were oppressed, they cried and succumb morally precarious situations, then, many children were mental disorders. After this scandal, the University of Iowa offered his public apology, and already six elderly subjects, who filed a lawsuit against the university, paid compensation in the amount of nine hundred thousand dollars each.
4. North Korean experiments
Repeatedly press flashed an article about experiments on prisoners people in North Korea, but the government stubbornly denies them, they say to their prisoners they are humane. However, one former prisoner still told about certain cases, such as for example, experiment with eating poisoned cabbage leaves, after which 50 healthy prisoners happened bloody vomiting and hemorrhage, and after those died. Motivated prisoners that if they did not agree to participate in a secret research against their families will be reprisals. From Kwon Hyuk, former chief of security of the local prison, became known the detailed description of the gas chambers and prisons to experiments on blood, so it was even ruined a few families.
3. Toxicology laboratory of the USSR
Special secret research unit in the structure of the organs of state security of the USSR, engaged in research in the field of toxic substances and poisons. Worked here the special services of the NKVD and the NKGB, who were engaged in covert ops, dedicated to the development and testing of toxic substances, and investigated the impact of these substances on prisoners sentenced to capital punishment. In a number of publications dedicated to the secret operations of the Soviet security organs, this lab also called "Lab 1" Lab 12" and "Camera".
2. The the Tuskegee syphilis study
It's a medical experiment lasted from 1932 to 1972-th year in the city of Tuskegee, Alabama. The study was conducted under the auspices of the public health Service USA and aimed to investigate all stages of syphilis in African-Americans. But local scientists are concealed from the subjects, the existence of penicillin, and continued testing of an experimental substance, supposedly in search of drugs. As a result, many people suffered, some died of syphilis infected their wives and children. This experiment is called perhaps the most infamous biomedical research study in U.S. history.
1. Unit 731
This is a special squad of the Japanese armed forces who was engaged in research in the field of biological weapons to prepare to conduct bacteriological warfare, but the experiences they produce on human beings (prisoners of war and abducted). Here, experiments conducted to establish the amount of time that man can live under the influence of different factors such as boiling water, desiccation, food deprivation, water deprivation, frostbite, electrocution, vivisection people and much more. Thus, during the experiments, was injured about ten of thousands of innocent people including babies.
One of the more grizzly sides to all of these experiments is that they produced research material that is used every day; largely in medicine. Quite a few medical procedures have their roots in something discovered here and the reason they are saving lives is because of all the ones that were taken horrifically.
