RE: The most disturbing human experiments that could never happen today

in #psychology7 years ago (edited)

Hello @jaedea, thank you for reading, upvoting, and commenting. : )

Since psychology is a relatively young science, in the early and mid XX century the rules on experimentation have not been set yet. Today, we have rather strict rules, which prevent experiment of this sort to be legally conducted.

Sort:  

Even though strict rules have been kept in place for quite some time now, I still believe that such illegal experiments are still present in some corners of the world! What do you think?

It is very possible that they do. However, the fact that their results can not be published are discouraging fame-seeking individuals from conducting them, which, luckily, reduces their number to near zero.

Yeah! I think that is the only reason that is keeping such moralless individuals from doing such activities! No matter what, such actions are not justifiable in the name of science!

Sacrifice is required to achieve greater things! The sacrifice of the people who fell victim to such kind of horrific experiences have led us to a better understanding of the human mind!

These two comments show just how hard it is to draw a line and find the right stance about such a sensitive topic. : )

What had been done is done! We cannot change the past but accept the fact that the knowledge on the human mind that we possess is a result of the sacrifice of many innocent minds!

Exactly, nice thoughts! : )
