Have you ever considered conducting experiments on humans or animals that were not allowed? A user asked the forum, “What unethical experiment would be interesting if conducted?” Here are the top responses.
BREED HUMANS
“Breed giant-sized or tiny humans intentionally over generations to see how big or small humans can become. As it is unethical, living to a ripe old age in excellent health wouldn’t precisely be necessary for the experiment.”
CLONE A SERIAL KILLER
“Clone a known serial killer. Make, let’s say, two dozen or so. Intentionally raise them in various environments, including the one they were raised in. Track how many, if any, become killers. Testing the nature vs nurture argument.”
RAISE A CHILD IN A 1960S-THEMED ATMOSPHERE
“Raising a child in a 1960s-themed atmosphere and then abruptly exposing them to the modern world when they are between the ages of 15 to 18.”
BRAIN OR HEAD TRANSPLANT
“Brain/head transplants. There were some exciting experiments back in the day involving them. One in the 1970s involved a monkey receiving a head transplant that lived over a week. They were so excited and stopped suddenly, making me somewhat suspicious.”
CLONE A HUMAN
“We’ve cloned a sheep. Time to clone a human. I feel like this was probably done behind closed doors already.”
BREED APES
“Selectively breed apes for intelligence to produce another sapient species.”
TAKE BILLIONAIRE’S MONEY
“Take away a billionaire’s money and see if they can raise themselves by their bootstraps.”
RAISE PEOPLE TO BELIEVE IN STAR WARS
“Raise an entire village of people who believe Star Wars is real. Raise them under, let’s say, Imperial occupation; hell, we could even stage the murder of a supposed rebel by Darth Vader. Then suddenly, when everyone turns 21. Reveal the truth to them.”
RAISE CHILDREN WITHOUT RELIGION
“Raise a group of children in a typical Western setting (or as much as is possible), but without any knowledge of religion. Then, when they’re adults, introduce them to all the world’s religions in a job fair-typesetting and see if they need to join any of them.”
SEPARATE TWINS AT BIRTH
“Separate twins at birth. That has been done deliberately a couple of times.”
MOUSE UTOPIA EXPERIMENT
“Mouse Utopia Experiment but on humans, it would need to be modified, and yes, some reality shows have, in a way, done this experiment but not in the view of science and not long term.”
RAISE HUMAN TO SWIM AROUND A POOL OF WATER
“Raise humans to mostly swim around a pool of water since birth & see how that affects their genetics across the generations.”
GIVE HUMAN AN EXTRA LIMBS
“Giving humans extra limbs and seeing how their brains respond to it.”
STICK A PERSON IN AN AIRTIGHT ROOM
“Stick a person in an airtight room with an increasing number of plants to find the number needed to maintain a sustainable oxygen level.”
RAISE KIDS IN A WORLD WITH NO GENDER ROLES
“I want to raise kids in a world with no gender roles and then see if they fall into typical ‘male’ ‘female’ stereotypes.”
