Rober Galbraith Heath is my go-to for unethical experimentation. His wiki page is pretty sparse, but this page right here has most of the goods:quote:Dr Robert Heath was Chairman of the Department of Psychiatry and Neurology at Tulane University in New Orleans from 1949 to 1980. He performed many controversial experiments involving electrical stimulation of the brain (ESB). In one procedure, Dr Heath wired up the pleasure centres of a gay man. During a three-hour session, the subject, code-named B-19, electrically self-stimulated his reward circuitry some 1,500 times. quote:Dr Heath's work on mind-control at Tulane was partly funded by the US military and the CIA. Dr Heath's subjects were African Americans. In the words of Heath's collaborator Australian psychiatrist Harry Bailey, this was "because they were everywhere and cheap experimental animals". There's another mention of him here: quote:In 1970, Robert Heath of Tulane University dreamed up a far more novel application of Olds and Milner's discovery. Heath decided to test whether repeated stimulation of the septal region could transform a homosexual man into a heterosexual...

Alpacalips Now posted:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MKULTRA (MKULTRA was also the money behind Robert Heath's experiments.) What's extra horrifying/depressing about MKULTRA, for my money, is that in the end the CIA just threw up its hands and said "Welp, I guess mind control doesn't exist", so billions of dollars were spent, hundreds of lives ruined, and who knows how many atrocities committed just to prove that The Manchurian Candidate was a work of fiction. I think that's basically the ultimate objection to anybody who bemoans how much science could advance if not for ethics, because here's the thing: we've tried that, and it doesn't really teach us anything we couldn't have learned ethically (the only exception that comes to mind being the Nazi's hypothermia research, which is pretty  ).

BattleMaster posted:The fact that people feel sympathy for Dahmer is the scary or unnerving part of the whole thing. Why does anyone even write fictional stories about monsters when we have real monsters wearing human skin living among us? Not sure if you missed the entire point of the discussion, but people feel sympathy for Dahmer because you can't just throw him in the box labelled "monster" or "not really a human like I am".

SheepNameKiller posted:To some extent, sure. But the majority of it is that I'm just angry over the disproportionate amount of attention that gets paid to all of these shithead murderers compared to the victims they abused. You're missing the point: sympathy for the victims is assumed and thus not worthy of discussion. And what is there to say about the victims of a serial killer beyond "they were in the wrong place at the wrong time, ain't that lovely?"

Bippie Mishap posted:Chickens and rats would do the same if they had the mass, they're all omnivores just like humans. Why does that freak you out? Humans eat them. Probably because most people just think of pigs as harmless, dopey, indiscriminant eaters, not genuine meat lovers, let alone predators.

SamLikesCake posted:Another great example is the horrible abuse that was commonplace in residential schools. Often the places were absolutely riddled with TB and other diseases and there was no attempt to quarantine. When the kids would die, they were buried on school property and forgotten. Sometimes their parents wouldn't even be notified. Keep in mind... This wasn't something that happened a long time ago. This poo poo was going down into the 1970's at least. The final residential school was closed in 1996. Literally everyone in this thread was alive when the Canadian government was carrying out a genocide.

Degenerate Star posted:jFC, Snow tracked that outbreak in 1854 with a notebook and a map, and yet somehow it's just too much trouble to do the same thing today with our technology? It's not too much trouble, it's that they already know who caused the outbreak and don't want to admit it. That's, like, the entire point of the article.

atomicthumbs posted:One time I saw a Titanium themes bouncy house and realized "yep in 100 years or less 9/11 is gonna be a children's amusement." Doubt it, the random politically-motivated destruction of two ugly office buildings doesn't have the same emotional pull as a massive, gorgeous ship being destroyed by hubris, and it lacks the upper-class vs. lower-class narrative. The story of the Titanic begs to be romanticized, 9/11 is just a senseless tragedy.

So, uh, fair warning for anybody who wants to have a stroll through wikipedia's articles on unidentified dead people, one of their articles just straight-up opens on a big ole pic of a corpse. Which is loving pleasant. I mean, it isn't gory, but knowing it's the actual face of an actually dead guy just makes it so much creepier than even those creepy reconstruction faces.
