An Improper chain of custody of radiotherapy units can lead to an orphan source, where radioactive elements are knowingly or more commonly unknowingly removed from their protective enclosures. An incident in Samut Prakan, Thailand in 2000 shows the importance of the correct handling, sale and disposal of radioactive elements. The event would result with 3 dead and over 1800 exposed.

In 1924 Carney Landis sought out to study human facial expressions, but in order to get authentic reactions he used some pretty horrific methods. The experiments would involve men women and children alike, and get increasingly bizarre.

The sodium reactor experiment was a proof of concept for a type of reactor that made use of liquid sodium as a coolant, instead of the more common water.

The Monster Study was an experiment performed on 22 orphan children in Davenport, Iowa in 1939. During the experiment, they tried to give perfectly healthy children stutters. It was orchestrated by Wendell Johnson at the University of Iowa. Graduate student Mary Tudor conducted the experiment under Johnson's instruction. Half of the children received positive speech therapy, praising the fluency of their speech, and the other half, negative speech therapy, belittling the children for speech imperfections. Many of the normal speaking orphan children who received negative therapy in the experiment suffered negative psychological effects, and some retained speech problems for the rest of their lives.

The real life Lord of the Flies or The Robbers Cave experiment took place during 1954 in Robbers Cave State Park, Oklahoma, with 22 children.

35 Years ago an event changed the way we look at nuclear energy. The Chernobyl disaster was a nuclear reactor accident that occurred on Saturday 26 April 1986 35 years ago. The meltdown happened at Unit No. 4 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, near the city of Pripyat, in the former USSR. The accident started during a safety test on an RBMK-type nuclear reactor, and was one in a long list of disaster linked to this reactor type.

In 1970 Robert J white, did four experiments in which he cut the head off of a monkey and connected the blood vessels of another monkey head to it.

Eugenics is a theory that aims to improve the genetic quality of the human population, by excluding people and groups judged to be inferior such as forced sterilisation, and promoting those judged to be superior. The Theory also known as Galton's theory became an excuse for some of the 20th Century's worst atrocities. The story of this theory has resulted in many unethical practices in the USA, Germany, and the UK, and traces its origins back to Charles Darwin.

The Bobo doll experiment is the name for a series of experiments performed by psychologist Albert Bandura to test his social learning theory. Between 1961 and 1963, he studied the behaviour of children after they watched an adult model act aggressively towards a Bobo the clown doll. The most famous version of the experiment measured the children's behaviour after seeing an adult model rewarded, punished, or experience no consequence for physically attacking the Bobo doll. The results of the experiment would be used as the justification of the anti video game movement of the 1980 and 1990s. The study was considered controversial but not as bad as the Baby Albert study.

The Little Albert experiment took place at Johns Hopkins University in 1920 and was a controlled experiment showing empirical evidence of classical conditioning in humans. The aim of John Watson and Rosalyn Rayner was to condition a phobia in an emotionally stable child. For this study they chose a nine-month old infant from a hospital referred to as "Albert" for the experiment. Watson followed the procedures which Pavlov had used in his experiments with dogs. The fascinating horror of the Behaviouralism experiment shows the darkest depths scientific studies can go.

A lobotomy, or leucotomy as it was originally known, was a form of psychosurgery, a neurosurgical treatment of a mental disorder that involves severing connections in the brain's prefrontal cortex. The Barbaric surgery left many a shell of their former selves and marks a dark point in mental health treatment. Although originally conceived in Portugal by Doctor Egas Moniz in the 1940s It would continue well into the 1960s under the hands of Walter Freeman in the US. The surgery would win the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine of 1949 for the "discovery of the therapeutic value of leucotomy in certain psychoses".
