As time went on, scientists (and people calling themselves scientists) conducted experiments that were not morally acceptable and pushed its edges, others went beyond this line. This is a lot better now, but that doesn’t mean that people still don’t have an idea for tests. Frankenstein.
In Reddit Over, scientists are “answering the question of what you desperately want to experiment with, but does it make you look like an insane scientist?” Below are some of our favorites. We’ll jump in if we need details.
“I want to take DNA from infamous serial killers like Dahmar or Albert Fish or the like, can clone them, then the child should be raised in a normal, supportive, loving family,” said recalcitrant Jerk. “I’ve been studying kids through all my youth to see how much of an adult’s upbringing and nature.” In a 1960s study by Dr. Peter Newber, a pediatric psychiatrist and psychologist funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health, he went so far as to clone a human being to test this “nature vs. nurturing” debate with an unknown number of people.

After the deaths of his mother and father, his grandfather kept a son in a chicken coop for years before being tied to the bed for ten years. After being rescued, he improved and even smiled, but never developed language.
