Watch out list of insane scientific experiments that really happened
1.we start off our craziest science experiments with a man called Albert Kligman he was a dermatologist who used experiments on prisoners to find a way around a lack of clinical test subjects. It was 1951 when he went to Holmesburg Prison to treat an outbreak of athlete’s foot when he realised he’d hit the honey pot, hundreds of men ranging in age who would take part in trials for minor cash rewards. For 20 years he ran experiments there involving perfume, deodorant, shampoo and other things, these included toxins, mind altering drugs and radioactive isotopes too. Kligman was adamant he had done nothing wrong until his work ended in 1974
2. Dr Wendell Johnson carried out his experiments in an orphanage in Iowa, determined to provide a cure for stuttering. Using 22 orphans, some of which never had a stutter to begin with, he mixed them into groups with some non-stutterers and some that did. His nasty plan was to see if he could cause some children to lose their impediment and for some to start to stutter.
The process involved positive re enforcement to one a group and negativity towards the speech of the other group, criticising them constantly. By the end of the experiment those children without stutters had become afflicted with them and those who started with them and were exposed to negativity got worse. The effects were never reversed.
3.This has to be one of the most creepiest science experiments ever, read on to find out. A nutritional study for pregnant women sounds like a good thing, giving them pills to help with anaemia, they administered them to over 800 pregnant women. The catch was the iron tablets were actually radioactive. The research wanted to see how much iron a pregnant woman could absorb, exposing the women to over 30 times the normal radiation levels. There was also a darker side to the experiment, they wanted to test the radiation level outcome on the children in life.
Following up on the children found 3 died from cancer related illnesses and Vanderbilt was sued for $10m in 1998
4. In 1954, Castle Bravo, a hydrogen bomb was detonated as a secret test. What wasn’t taken into account was the 15 megaton blast radius making it the highest radioactive contamination ever. Resident of nearby Marshall Islands were exposed due to high winds carrying the toxins their way. Mass evacuation happened and studies began on the victims. Those closest had skin lesions appear almost immediately as well as going bald. As the years passed miscarriages and stillbirths became a common thing for the people affected. Those children born often had developmental problems and thyroid cancer was rife in that group. The resident of Marshall Islands remain convinced they were used as guinea pigs for these tests.
5 .Another seriously strange experiment that was carried out that you’ve never heard of was by Dr Bender who worked in Bellevue hospital for over 2 decades from 1930, often experimenting for cues on schizophrenic children.
The method to cure was electroconvulsive therapy, which detailed shocking one group of children everyday for 20 consecutive days. The ages ranged from 3 to 12. This continued kind of therapy led to drastic behavioral changes, often becoming violent or mostly becoming zombie like and barely able to function. Science tricks using kids is the most disturbing thing ever. I donāt get them how the government passed them
6. Chemical warfare was a horrible fact of WW2, and when it ended the US government wanted to evaluate the reactions from this. The army sent 7000 soldiers to a medical research program. As a front, the soldiers were told they were testing out new military clothing and weapons. In reality the men were exposed to caffeine or LSD and even to nerve gas. As the experiments grew the scientists became hungry for more brutal and extreme side effects, currently the only ones on show were dizziness or slight depressive states. They wanted to create a weapon to incapacitate humans but not kill them at the same time.
The program ended with no follow up planned, but many of the soldiers report on several diseases and psychological trauma; the army is silent on the matter.
