Imagine how much we could learn about the human mind if we were allowed to take a few newborns and use them for experiments. I am not even talking about torture. Just things like:
>take a newborn >put him inside a white room >don't contact him ever again >raise him like that
>take a newborn >constraint his body >but give him all kind of stimulus through some kind of occulus rift or whatever >raise him like that
We can't do it because apparently a dozen of human lives are too sacred. Yet you see all the time all kind of reckless behavior as a society that's clearly more harmful than these experiments and nobody cares.
OPs retarded, but I do sometimes wonder what it would be like to grow up without language. Specifically how it would change thinking/imagination. I'd guess one would just think with more pictures
Those experiments have no practical benefits to attain and are inhumane because of their post-experimental implications. Feral children exist and they never adjusted to society. Unless you want to find out if 'durr how will humans be in white boxes' you're just an edgy teenager obsessed with retarded ideas.

This, and you're treading dangerously close to psychology. Careful OP, or Veeky Forums won't play with you.

When they eventually handed over the unedited material, the OPRR discovered that the footage of the brain damage being inflicted involved just one baboon out of the 150 who had received the Penn 2 injuries. The film gave the impression that the brain-damage scenes involved several animals. well, peta.

That's just regular psychology, user. Making poor methodology edgier won't help.

>Not torture. >Is basically just torture.
It'd have to be someone willing to do things like that. I'd sign up for the latter. However, to breed someone for the purpose of that is kind of inhumane. Not emotionally inhumane, just logically inhumane, as it can destroy the human (and if the human is not destroyed, it will need to be).

That's American style solitary confinement. Only practiced in the US and Iran. Suffice to say, it's already being done user. To criminals.

What if the room is very large? If they are not confined but still solitary? Does the size of the room matter, or can a larger room that they cannot leave also scare people?
Christopher Perry
if you believe in medical kidnapping, it already does happen.
Brandon Foster
It is. In Iran the room is like the size of a house, it's huge. And all there is is white cushioned walls and a really bright light. Even things like food and limitted social interaction are given. By the time the people come out, they are either dead or mentally retarded.
