Science without ethics: some of the creepiest experiments ever devised

SCIENCE WITHOUT ETHICS: Writers from Wired magazine imagine the scientific discoveries that could be made through some of the most ethically deplorable experiments ever conceived. "Most scientists will assure you that ethical rules never hinder good research—that there’s always a virtuous path to testing any important hypothesis. But ask them in private, perhaps after a drink or three, and they’ll confess that the dark side does have its appeal. Bend the rules and some of our deepest scientific conundrums could be elucidated or even resolved: nature versus nurture, the causes of mental illness, even the mystery of how humans evolved from monkeys. These discoveries are just sitting out there, waiting for us to find them, if only we were willing to lose our souls." Have a look at the full article to see the full list of truly creepy experiments "that show how contemporary science might advance if it were to toss away the moral compass that guides it."
