Something i would want to test is the breaking point of people and see how much crazy stuff they can withstand before their psychological state collapses (this sounds 100% like a mad scientist experiment)
Id recommend .."Detroit: become human." Somewhat similar in psycological abuse.
Read stories of ww1
The movie purge sounds like A good idea
@@mustafaemrecnar4221 In my opinion the events of the game outlast sound like a good idea for example having a bunch of genetically modified psychos in an asylum hunting down a normal person in the asylum in order to kill them sounds very crazy and like a mad scientist idea but i think it'd be good without the ethical status of it.
Chill out, Monokuma.
Orangutans have been found to have more potential than required in the wild. For instance, they can easily learn to tie knots. I wonder if there are more useful skills we can teach them that would potentially help them thrive again
Teach them how to kill us humans would be the best for them
@@TeamReed They lack the aggressiveness. Chimps on the other hand would totally go to war with humans if given the chance
@@pomponi0 we can make em aggressive some how lol
Uhmm bro why did you say again? Did I miss on the golden age of orangoutans or something?
@@npc6817 They're perfectly adapted for their environment. They had been thriving for who knows how long up until the mid 20th century and now they're critically endangered.
Placebo Effect studies would be awesome to do!
Imagine how that would affect society. Massive companies selling sugar for a lot of money. People getting killed if they tell the secret. Probably some religions popping up
@Nikki M No. No they are not. You're literally advocating for deceiving a person for capital gain right now. Despite that fact, though, it's still an completely redundant action entirely counter productive and counter intuitive, since the whole line of thought depends on presumption. Don't believe me? The commenter in the video said he read reports that surgeons opened patients up and stitched them, literally having done nothing other than that, and that patients reported having gotten better. Yet, did you stop and consider that maybe, the patient, after having had a supposedly "major" surgery that was supposed to fix an issue, figured that if his surgery didn't fix it there was nothing else to be done, and they would just have to live with the pain, when in reality your doctor is deceiving you and cut you open for no reason in the first place?
The entire premise is factored around fallacy.
Nothing has been discovered/Done without someone thinking outside the box. No sane/boring person has ever accomplished anything big. I want to help in most if not all, these theories
Agreed. Like the cloning of people and the baby out of the womb
I want to make the h bomb 2, you in?
I want to replace calcium with strontium in a chickens diet to see what it does to the egg shells.
"Finding the warmest lap to lay on." Awwww
Oh! I have a fun story about this
When I was 11 or 12 years old, I wanted to study genetic engineering bc I saw a documentary about that and thought that it was pretty cool. I don't remember exactly why but I wanted to experiment with human cells and create a superhuman or something like that (don't judge me, I was a kid). Later I discovered it was illegal to do genetic modifications on humans and I was like "duck y'all" and decided to study journalism. My dad, a former Physics student (he couldn't accomplish his dream bc he had some family issues at the time) was really proud that I was interested in "science" but didn't know my reasons. Later, he was really surprised when I decided to study something else and asked why I changed my mind, and I just said "... Uh, I just got interested in something else".
I hated chemistry classes though, so in the end I was going to ditch that career option anyways lol
Omg, apparently human babies have a bullseye on them
About to sell some babies
They're a completely clean slate, you could say. No development of really anything (language, personality, knowledge, etc), bodies rarely damaged by the harshness of the outside world (some are, like babies with fetal alcohol syndrome), rarely any psychological damage or trauma. They're the most blank form that humans have. The older you get, the more the world changes you.
I actually made a huge mistake with my first major experiment. You see, I took the genes of a Vietnam War special ops soldier and make twins from his DNA. I gave all of the dominant genes to one child and all of the recessive genres to the other, but as they grew older, I convinced the child with all of the dominant genes that he actually had all of the recessive genes.
In spite of me convincing him he had all of the recessive genes when he really had all of the dominant genes, I later got him talking with a military recruiter and actually got him into a high ranking position. It was at some base in some artic island that has this giant living robot nuke thing in it for some reason, but anyways he eventually went nuts, performed a military coup of the island, and threatened to use the living nuke thing on the US if they didn't give him a couple billion dollars or something.
Apparently he hired a gay Soviet cowboy, a psychokinetic guy that wouldn't remove his gasmask for any reason, a sniper that had a furry fetish, some giant with a mini gun that had an unhealthy obsession with birds, and a whole lot of other nutjobs to help him orchestrate that coup, kind of a no brainier that he'd hire people as nutty as himself.
I had to send in his brother to go try and disable the robot, but it was too late. Eventually the two brothers fought to the death, and it was actually the brother with all of the recessive genes who won believe it or not.
All I know about the other brother is that he occasionally works for the US military and lives in rural Alaska, which I always found ironic considering his codename was Snake and snakes can't survive in the cold.
13:19 YES YES YES PLS DO THAT! I want to see a bouncing mouse, also that would be really interesting to see, animals evolving to be different things! we could evolve animals to anything, probably!
Google Kangaroo Rat and Jerboa, then.
The thing is, evolution takes millions of years... even with fast reproducing animals such as mice.
And there's a shit ton of variables to evolution. By a shit ton, I mean that 1 or 2 extra molecules in an atmosphere could slightly change how the species evolves...
@@umcaraqualquer3640 true...
I’m no scientist but would like to splice animal genes with human or add genes to humans to see what the offspring will be like
In other words I want cat girls
Chill Skyler

@@thefurryinyourwalls took the words right out my mouth
Lux Barbman nah just a weeb
So unimaginative! You *could* make people with wings, night vision, exo-skeletons, but *noooo,* I wanna put cat ears on my imaginary girlfriend!
4:59 - "Completely and undeniably unethical. Incredibly cruel. But sooooo intriguing!"
Yeah, this sounds _exactly_ like something a mad scientist would say.
The poop study is being done by a renown scientist on his son. He saved a sample of every single poop since birth...
Is this true? Who?
I’m down for the mini-elephants
I want to hybridize bats with various other creatures.
I'm a writer, not a scientist, but I do want a (group of?) scientist(s) to do these kind of experiment so that I can study them and see if it could be possible to create dragons, unicorns, and other creatures of the like. The only problem is that it hurts the animals that the original tissue samples will be taken from, so whoever takes the project might be considered a "mad scientist".
It's very hard to do something like that, here's why. Bats, and reptiles are so far apart in their Genus, that breeding them just wouldn't work. Breeding them is hard enough, but an embryo just wouldn't develop.
”I want drug olympics” body building already is
I'd support the poop studies.
Neutron star astronomer sounds like a good sci-fi movie.
Okay, but with the cloned body parts thing, the clones would have to be full humans for operations to work properly, so you would be keeping a bunch of kids in a sheltered environment that's only goal would be keeping them healthy. They would also be fully sentient.
Basically, you would get a crap ton of protests and politicians disagreeing with you.
Ak Mayernick it’s a movie called the island
It is also a book called Haven

6:35 Alright, if I was one of the kids in that experiment, I would never figure it out. I honestly don’t know how the first humans figured it out and don’t understand why people find it enjoyable.
You’re either young or asexual.
Probably asexual. I mean, I’m young too, I suppose, but I know what it is and how you do it. And I still find it strange that people find passion in it.
Inkwell Fair, could be either. If you still don’t care by the time you’re 18-20, you’re probably asexual.
I’m glad people know being ace is a thing nowadays. I’m ace too, and it would have saved me a good deal of headache if I knew what that was when I was a teen/early twenties.
Winged Mirage, Haha, me too. I don’t really plan on marrying. I’ll probs adopt so I don’t be lonely, and maybe get a pet or two. I really like your name btw
Inkwell Thanks! I like yours too. Do you draw or write?
And yeah, I don’t want to marry either. It would feel dishonest, since I don’t want sex and that’s one of the main points of marrying lol. I would like a companion later, but more like a roommate/friend rather than a spouse. And some pets too of course.
Set up an artificial simulator from a rare blood type donors bones to creat a large amout of the rare blood type.
6:00 Darling in the Franxx in a nutshell
When I'm at school I expirment what happens when you put grape juice in your smashed potatoes
It’s kinda funny, we could make the world a batter place if we threw out morals...
I think you meant "better place", but that is a relative statement. You could have numerical data that would indicate higher standard of living, and greater happiness on some index, but you could also cherry pick your data to say the same thing about a factory farm raising chicken or veal. The most famous experiment to make the world a better place, sans morals, was called the Third Reich. We're still dealing with fallout from that.
6:01 so essentially darling in the franxx
0:45 sounds like something that would be done. I had to collect rat poop for a while for the same purpose haha
13:25 yes, let's build some level 5 espers.
The placebo effect is not just a sugar pill. I actually had to incorporate studies about the placebo effect in my college capstone project. So, basically, it’s not only a pill. It was speculated that improvement while taking a placebo is from social/environmental factors. Depression rates decreased as people were able to talk to people about their symptoms, they got out of the house, were supported heavily during the study, etc.
I can help with the animals "become more civilized" thing: cats.
You can feed a cat all it wants but if given bird it will still chase bird. Hunting is somewhat like play for many animals. With lots of resources they WILL build "colonies" tho because the need to fight over food doesnt exist, so that's sort of civilizing?
As a science fan, im really amazed by these ideas
Not really an experiment, but i want to drink some hydrochloric acid. I just want to know how it tastes, because it has a really bad smell
Stomach acid is hydrochloric acid so it's probably pretty similar in taste.
@@blackirish781 Really? Never knew that
So tastes of vomit mmmmm xingy
@@blackirish781 Only partly so.
Acidic things taste sour so it would be like eating a bunch of lemons and warheads at the same time
The interaction starved baby is such a horrific story. Because even when they realised the baby was becoming gravely ill and cut the experiment for medical treatment, it was literaly too late. No amount of interaction and loving stimulus after that point onwards made a difference. They first would cease crying when learning that it was getting them nothing, but after that they became lethargic, unresponsive -pathagnomonic-
My-craw-bee-uhm.
The text to speech thingy is so jarring with certain words my craw bhiom
Yes, this program is essentially an intelligent and erudite sounding idiot with an odd speech impediment.

11:07 sounds a lot like a movie called 'chappie'
The first one there is actually a kid’s book series on
Tycoon Titian01 Do tell, what is it?
MasterMinds
Science is the paved way to the future but we as humans can only go so far with science without human experimentation
I was VERY sheltered and I figured out master-bation by myself it's totally plausible!
That's nornal to learn by yourself. And its called masturbation.
for the microbiome guy. this work could be INCREDIBLY valueble
About the twin thing, I’m a twin and I can confirm there are things my brother and I share. We are both very different people, but there are very specific thoughts and things that we do that we share.
I want to test Jean Jacques Rousseau’s philosophy of children being perfect beings untouched by society. I’d take an infant or child, put it on a secluded island with virtually no intervention to see the effects of being totally isolated from society.
That stock video clip at the start is insane. Mixing possibly volatile chemicals without your eye protection on? Recipe for disaster.
See what happens when you put me, Dr. Bright, and some random weapons and equipment in the same room.
4:57 i remember this actually being done to a girl who was never given real human contact. Her parents locked her in the basement. When she was found by police at age 11 she didn't know any language to speak. I don't remember much else concrete about it
There was a girl who was locked in the closet till she was about 6. Was on doctor Phil. It was really sad, she learned to talk because of the radio playing and none of her siblings did anything to help her (she was malnutritioned till they found her) because they were all petrified of their evil parents. She was actually eating part of the wall because of how hungry she was and they didn't allow her out at all so that small room was also her bathroom. Thankfully the parents are locked up but damn... It's still so sad
I was working in a Aviation Industry Calibration lab when my co-worker caught me doodling and asked what I was doing. I explained that I was exploring a computer hypercube topology with applications toward plumbing. I was serious. He gave me the funniest look and walked away looking slightly broken.
Some of these are quite good and do amazing things for humanity. Hell, he could probably even save us.
The regrowth of limbs through electro stimulation sounds interesting. Could you put the amputation site in some kind of bag, seal the opening of the bag around the limb, then pressurise the bag with a sterile fluid (stem cell laden artificial amniotic fluid or stem cell laden blood comes to mind) to stop bleed out and stimulate growth?
The "drug olympics" one would actually be very interesting. Kinda like a competition to build super soldiers, but yeah not a good idea.
I really want to see the effects of a fully senient AI that can learn like a human child.
Tl:Dr - the movie Chappie in a nutshell.
10:20 THE RISE OF FURRIES!!!!
Pizza_Hut265 There's always that one guy. ;3
Supersum Creations always;3
0:04 you can't clone with DNA the only thing you could do with a sample of somebody else DNA is identify them but I understand where this person is coming from
Except you can...
Clones of cats, dogs, sheep, etc have already been developed. It won't take long to clone a human.
Pandas have had to be shown panda porn before being able to actually reproduce.
I would be more than willing to participate with Scientist 2's experiment. I don't really want a kid because I want to focus on science but also want one at the same time because I want to have a child too.
So like child and career in one that's pretty cool to me
The first one where it is like cloning serial killers is actually a book. And the kids hate it in the book and end up feeling horrible that they are capable of such horrible things
The first sounds like the plot to a book I read. I forgot it though. If anyone knows can you tell me.
3:00 bruh I had severe nosebleeds in summer every single day lasting for at least an hour at a time. my mum made me take sugar pills for a week I didn't believe would work. It was literally tiny balls of sugar. I didn't have a single nosebleed for the rest of the summer. Had maybe about three nosebleeds which last no more than 20mins since those 2 years ago.
I would like an unbiased approach to looking at each race in a vacuum where children of each culture are raised in a vacuum where the parent figures have to raise them as identically as possible and see the subtle differences that change between them and potential health and nutritional requirements each need because they is no way a russian, aboriginal, and Japanese person have the same dietary requirements or health issues
6:51 You'd definitely need a control group, but I can actually answer this one for myself personally-- I discovered masturbation at a very early age (like 2 or 3 years old, to the mortification of my parents), though it took me longer to learn about intercourse itself. It was definitely an instinct that I possessed.
That first one is actually a YA book by Gordon Korman......
The children live in a perfect town, with perfect parents, but go mad when they find out they’re clones and their world is fake. The experiment did not go well.
As somebody with bipolar one I could definitely assure you that the placebo effect would not work for me. my mind would definitely find a way to go straight to suicidal thoughts or homicidal thoughts. Mania, rapid cycling, depression. Is not something people can control with a placebo effect. Depression could definitely be something that could be dealt with using the placebo effect depending on how severe is.
Again it could work differently for everybody. But testing placebo effect even more I would say would be really difficult
Not a scientist but I'd like to do a variation of the first scientist's experiment. Instead of using serial killers, I want to use the dna of LGBT individuals. Since they are so small of a population that is also discriminated against it's very hard to get concrete data that is reliable. For instance, one study I read said close to 20% of youth identify in the community but another study said 10%. It would be interesting to remove all social biases and see what happens
*Big brain time*
4:41 That's what a twin study does.
"They're gazeebos! They're bullshit!"

2:35 there are $30 ancient coins. Not in good condition but nonetheless exist.
6:13 the most of the plot of darling in the franxx
There’s actually a book based on the first one, it’s called “Masterminds’ by Gordon Korman
0:10 there’s a fiction book about this. It’s called Masterminds by Gordon Korman
12:00 Not a scientist, but I want to do that too and that's also why I'm never having /adopting babies. Can't trust myself not to turn them into another Little Albert.
Just remember, these tests are mandatory. Happiness is also mandatory. All hail friend computer.
Always fancied incorporating chloroplasts into mammalian (or other non-plant species) cells. There have been a few papers published in this area and it seems the survival time of plant organelles in mammalian cell lines is limited to around 5 generations (with the chloroplast-laden cell lines having a far longer division interval than similar, "non-host" cells within the same lineage. There's a problem even grafting algal chloroplasts into higher plant species - so this might be "somewhat of a challenge"!
Hmmm I'm worried
Seems like you could do that microbiome study on non-humans but reasonably anagolous (chimps, pigs) and get usable data.
To the scientists who want to incubate babies. It would be really hard to do under the assumption you want to study and help the babies from alcohol and drugs, more than likely those babies are in low income homes. If you run it as a experiment and have outside funding you won’t be sustainable because you won’t be funded properly.
6:01 Well, I basically raised like that. One day it kinda just clicked. I asked mum if that's just how it worked and she was like "where the hell did you learn that" I think I was like 10-11 at the time.
EDIT: Before anyone asks, no I don't know why it was so early.
Thé first one is a book series
which one?
Leslie Lei I believe it’s Masterminds by Gordon Korman. Read the first one and thought it was good.
Leslie Lei masterminds book series
MaxTax yeah that’s the one
I would through together some random dna and see what happens when you grow it
Figuring out a way to give humans chlorophyll or some type of photosynthesis.
Wouldn't solve world hunger but at least you could put a hell of a dent in it
What about making an actual zombie virus? Or even further, the resident evil viruses that cause drastic mutations?
It is looking like earthquakes dont release stress, but relocate most of it to another area of the fault. Can we control these using large targeted explosions.
Earthquake nukes.
On the intercourse thing, probably really fast?
When I took a bath when I was really young with a friend friend that was a girl I wondered what would happen if I out my my object into their object.
After a few years they would probably figure it out after seeing the other gender newd
As a trainer I'd fucking LOVE to see heatseeking dogs
At 10.42 a potential solution to that would be prior to stimulation keep taking blood freezing it and then block the main limb eg replacing hand to elbow tournaquite shoulder and keep pumping blood into the elbow via a artificial heart do that fit long enough and done new hand might take multiple attemps but eventually new hand
I would like to clone a bunch of identical humans than mess with every gene in the genome in every possible configuration seeing how it changes them, from this we could do repeat studies to fully figure out gene manipulation and then we could secretly do gene modification on infants to drizzle down active genes in humans which could, potentially, over time make the species as a whole immune to practically anything from cancer to aging from the cold to frost bite etc.
Don't clones tend to age quicker and die earlier? If so that's a good reason not to do it on humans!
6:01 is super interesting
EARLLLYYYYYYY!!!!!!!
luhv you babe
The second study (child microbiome) is actually really interesting. Can that person study this in an animal model first? Would help gain support and momentum for this!
You know that entry about growing babies outside the womb (around the 14:12 mark)? Research is being done (or going to be done) at the University of Technology in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, to develop an artificial womb for prematurely born babies. Thought that might be relevant, so I wanted to share. Though it might be case of mistaken reporting on my end.
I did a project on Albert Fish (the serial killer dude) and no one seemed to know of him, glad to see someone does. Lol that was random
To be fair sugar itself can be a real pick me up
5:01 my friends aunt did something similar to her kid, to get goverment money. Except she didn't teach her kid ANYTHING. She went to jail and her kid is a 5 y.o. who cant walk still
All I can imagine while watching this was Dr. Franken Stein from Soul Eater.
The first is nurture! People do what they want to do to, but the thing is you can never let them know, since even at 70 if they find out they will ask themselves Qs which will lead to answers after a matter of time.
For most of these it interests me to fund them, but not yet, also we need a land where all these laws don't apply.
These are a few of the things that would happen on Mars, but since we can't get there it seems like humans are bound to the laws of ethics, because I'm sure these things are outlawed in all countries around the globe.
... I want to inject diluted shark blood into humans with cancer to see if theres any noticeable difference in the cancer... but I'm not an oncologist, just a marine biologist

i would like to see if i get jellyfish dna, put it into my dna, and get they’re electrical power or something
You might grow some-kind of gills, whatever jellyfish breathe out of.
wait..
do jellyfish breathe?
@@sqqqquid jellyfish breath passively
You'd get cancer.
you'd become poisonous (and depending on whether or not you're immune to your own poison, you might die), since jellyfish don't actually shock you, its just tiny little harpoons filled to the brim with poison that shoot out and "sting" you when you touch them.
I'd like to find out what would happen if we could turn off the old age jeans in our bodies. Would we be able to live forever, somehow? What causes our healthy bodies to become mortal as we grow old etc? Some very unethical experiments but ones which I would become a scientist to perform.
"jeans"
The actual reason why we age is because as we grow older the telomeres which is the long strand of junk DNA at the ends of our chromosomes shortens every time our cells divide. When the telomeres get too short, the cells can no longer divide and which causes our tissues to degenerate and eventually die. So we can't just turn off a gene to stop ageing.
@@Zaza-ho5yy you'd have to find some way of preventing the telomeres from shortening entirely, wouldn't you?
Hello. I know one sciencey word. How many times do I cram it into a sentence to fool the internet into thinking I’m a scientist?
After extensive calculations I believe that the exact answer is 356,782 times....
I think I might be a few off....
This one would be unethical as the person wouldn't and couldn't know about it. For studying the placebo effect and how much believing in something effect someone. A group of controls that are people with cancer being treated as such. Then a group of people without cancer who are told they have it and are treated along side the actual pateints but with a placibo in place of actual medications. They are treated the exact same except the fake medications and to themselves they know they have it when they do not. It would've interesting to see how many placibo pateints are affected by the side effects to chemo and radiation tho they do not actually go through it
What happens to populations of pets that all of a sudden are cut off by humans? Do they turn back to wild animals or have added social structure?
