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.
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.
I once wrote a short paper for a high school science class about MKUltra and the Holmsburg Prison Experiments. Nothing quite like heading a supposed man of science refer to a bunch of humans like they are cattle.
What question? What paper? Inquiring minds want to know!

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