I just read the wiki for #1. So sick...how did the parents allow this...not too long ago either. ..so disturbing. Apparently he had a twin brother and the dr would make them role play sex acts as a boy and girl...As children. .. how did he not have any legal consequences???

I honestly wish I had never read that. What an absolutely horrible life.

I am so angry for them...at the parents too. Wtf

Seriously. I could see that kind of crap happening in 1866, but 1966?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that a baby/person in a controlled envronment would have to learn how to use the computer eventually. If thats all you saw day after day, I'm sure you would figure it out just from trial and error.

An infant? You apparently haven't been around many of them.

This reminds me of some of the evil "tests" performed on Jewish prisoners of the Holocaust.

Y'all are getting too tied up on the infant part. Clearly all the necessary things would have to be done to keep them alive

There was an episode of Law and Order: SVU depicting #1.

the last one was definitely made into an L&O SUV episode.

I don't see how they say the Milgram experiment went horrible wrong. It seems to have gone disturbingly right. It proved his theory and in reality no one was harmed. It just proved people are pretty twisted.
The same can kind of be said of the Stanford Prison Experiment and the Third Wave experiment. While the results were disturbing, it showed a lot about human nature. Although some people did receive some injuries during the Stanford Experiment if I recall which prompted the experiment to be stopped?
The rest were pretty messed up and science gone wrong.
YEah thats what I was thinking. The majority are just straight up horrible experiments in teh first placer, but those seemed to actually prove something, just didnt prove anything "good."

6. Milgram Experiment
quote:
In 1963, in the wake of the atrocities of the Holocaust, Stanley Milgram set out to test the hypothesis that there was something special about the German people that had allowed them to participate in genocide. Under the pretense of an experiment into human learning, Milgram asked normal members of the public to ask questions to a man attached to an electric-shock generator and shock him in increasing measure when he answered incorrectly. The man was an actor, the shocks fake; but the participants didn’t know this. The terrifying part? People overwhelmingly obeyed the commands of the experimenter, even when the man screamed in apparent agony and begged for mercy. A little evil in all of us, perhaps?
Not failed.
This is a success that proves everybody fricking sucks.

The kid would break the computer long before he learned how to properly use it.

As sick as the others are, this one was the one that made me kinda sad. I'm turning lib i think

I've never understood the Stanford Experiment. So someone tells you to act like a guard/prisoner, and you just automatically do so?
It sounds like it was essentially a game of make believe that got serious. Well why did it become serious?

if those pussies hadn't cancelled the experiment, we may know the answer to this question

Yeah, I'm not sure that I buy into the Stanford Experiment. I think they cancelled it because it sucked. I agree with this part of its Wiki:
"Some of the experiment's critics argued that participants were merely engaging in role-playing, basing their behavior on how they were expected to behave or modeling it after stereotypes about the behavior of prisoners and guards. In response, Zimbardo claimed that even if there was role-playing initially, participants internalized these roles as the experiment continued."
ETA: Thanks for the youtube link. I'm checking it out.

Awesome book! I highly recommend it. It's truly disturbing what people are capable of. WHat amazed me about the book was how systematic the German death machine was.
