Psychology is a relatively new science which gained popularity in the early 20th
century with Wilhelm Wundt. In the zeal to learn about the human thought process and
behavior, many early psychiatrists went too far with their experimentations, leading to
stringent ethics codes and standards. Though these are highly unethical experiments, it
should be mentioned that they did pave the way to induct our current ethical standards of
experiments, and that should be seen as a positive. There is some crossover on this list with
the Top 10 Evil Human Experiments. Three items from that list are reproduced here (items
8, 9, and 10) for the sake of completeness.
