Many experiments have been conducted on unsuspecting human beings over the years, and America leads the way in frequency and creativity. Biological agents were tested on the general public in the United States 239 times in the 1950s and 1960s, and children were given syphilis in Alabama and Guatemala just to see what would happen.
Social experiments also play a role in understanding how the American government manages its flock of sheep. The Stanford Prison Experiment and the Milgram Experiment showcase just how easy it is to use authority to pressure people into committing atrocities.
