The 40s and 50s where the decades for unethical human experimentation. There’s all kind of random shit that we shouldn’t know, but do know because of that period.

Not so much that period, but the late 30s - early 40s.

That was the era of more horrifying and particularly bad science. The 50s though, that’s the era that brought rules like “you have to provide an honest explanation of what you’re testing to human test subjects” and no they didn’t just think it up as a good rule to have out of the blue.

Gotcha, I was just wondering what specific “slightly bad shit“ paper, and ethical dilemma, they had run across
