10 Mad Scientists Who Went Too Far

A staple trope of popular culture, the mad scientist is epitomized by a white robe wearing, frazzle haired harbinger of technology misused and calculations gone awry. But the reality is all too true, and scientists mad or otherwise ill-informed or ill-intentioned have certainly caused chaos in the annals of research. In this account, we look at 10 must-know mad scientists who took their research a little too far, including the Russian serial dog head transplanter, a Spanish researcher who remote controlled a live bull, and the German doctor who probed his own heart.

[@jackierocha5096]

If your talking about Forssmann, What he didn’t(whistler) mention is that the reason why he did it on himself is because they(the place h worked at) said “no that’s crazy you can’t do that! We are not going to allow you to test this on anyone, even volunteers” so he was like “I might as well do it on myself!” And he had a nurse on hand to help him do it, gave himself a little anesthetic and slowly put it up himself. When he felt that he had reached his heart he had to move from that room to the x-ray room and had to do so very carefully, on his way he ran into one of his colleagues and he(the colleague) knew that what he was doing was crazy and was forbidden from doing it so he tried to stop him. He fought his colleague while having that thing up in him and won and was able to get the x-ray to prove his theory true.

Lysenko beliefs were similar to Lamarckism, a theory from the 19th century by Baptise Lamark that proposed (wrongly) that an action made by one individual (e.g. stretching to reach food) would result in an adaptation (e.g. longer neck) which would then be passed down to their offspring. Although actions can create adaptions (e.g. English Longbow men had adapted musculature for the use of longbows) these adaptations aren't inherited by their offspring. It wasn't just Buckland who liked to sample exotic animals on his dinner plate - Darwin was a member of the Glutton Club . I think he recommended peeling armadillos before cooking them. Other scientists have also experimented on themselves. Barry Marshall was certain that a bacteria was responsible for stomach ulcers and cancer but wasn't taken seriously - so he drand a load of the bacteria and gave himself an ulcer. Got the Nobel Prose for that. Forßmann also got a Nobel Prize for this outstanding piece of work. Vladimir Demikhov also gave a dog an artificial heart - which opened the doors for heart bypass surgery. He developed lung, liver, heart transplants and was the only published expert on organ transplant at the time Christian Barnard transplanted the first human heart (the fist human heart transplant patient lived for 18 days after the operation, the second 1 1/2 years) Ilya Ivanovich Ivanov - well I'll be a monkeys uncle.

He also performed a number of "experiments" that had no scientific basis and were little more than torture, to the point other Nazi scientists whom he corresponded with were embarrassed at how unscientific his "studies" were, and burned material that he sent them. Even in the 1940s few aside from Mengle were "wondering" if they could change the colour of people's eyes by injecting them with dye. I don't mean to jump down your throat or shame or berate you for considering the positives here, btw - so many medical advancements are made during times of war, and I know it can help to think of it in terms of their suffering not being in vain.

[@jessicalynn9730]

This dude makes great videos. I'm always stoned when I watch his videos *actually I'm just always stoned* so I don't remember a whole lot but I love it nonetheless.

This is entertainment, people. The entries are chosen for their bizarreness and potential for eyeballs. Simon and Co. aren't trying to do indepth medical ethics studies. Having said that, I love these little Simon gems. My eyeballs live here.

[@thescarecrow2710]

the two headed dog is shocking and the traumatized monkey is one of the saddest things I have ever seen... this is absolutely why science must be bounded by ethics

Most of those people where probably just psychopaths, but people think you can`t be crazy and smart at the same time.

Dr Victor Henry Frankenstein demands to be No 1. What? You will PAY for this when my monster comes...

[@MrFuggleGuggle]

The weak should fear the strong. Through science and invention our chains may be broken. Fear of the unknown seeks only to censor greatness. I’ll show them. I’ll show them all...

[@nicholasparliament7197]

As awful as they were, Hawlow's monkey experiments taught us a lot. He wasnt testing "for love". He found that baby monkeys consistently spend more time hanging on to and cuddling with a doll made out of cloth rather than a doll made out of metal wire that provides food. Infants are born with an innate desire to be touched and comforted, and it is essential for their healthy development.

It means that people can understand the long term effects of child neglect.
