      The whole list is very superficial. It is also an insult to include a doctor like Werner Forßmann on this list, whose successful self-experiment with the first human cardiac catheterization (which earned him a Nobel prize) is a prime example of scientific heroism. Trofim Lysenko on the other hand was no scientist at all, therefore also no mad scientist. This is a lazy stereotype of mediochre people anyway. Don't get me started on what this hack Simon got wrong on details. The channel seems to be pretty sensational and dumb.

      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.

Same procedure: local anaesthetic, and feed a small tube into the vein in my upper right arm and into my heart, guided by ultrasound. Pretty neat to see it happening on the screen! And now I know who to thank for not having to get a bajillion jabs as they try to find a usable vein each time. They can use it for blood draws, too. Neat!

    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)

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. Ever since I read about his twins studies (DO NOT DO IT) I get irrationally angry at the mention of the man.

    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.

    Thomas Midgley Jr. was an American mechanical and chemical engineer. He played a major role in developing leaded gasoline and some of the first chlorofluorocarbons, better known by its brand name Freon; both products were later banned due to concerns about their impact on human health and the environment. Wikipedia He drank Tetraethel lead to prove it was harmless after workers in his factory became sick physically and died,denying the obvious. He eventually contracted polio and strangled to death in a machine he had built to help him get out of bed. He qualifies.

      EclecticNostalgia As logical as your claims are, language barriers still slow the dissemination of texts in different languages, aspecially technical writings where precise translation is required. I work with German engineering texts, many of which have never been translated because the process of translating them also requires advanced engineering knowledge, and high level technical German as well as the same level of skill in the other language it will be translated to. Google Translate and Rosetta Stone don't cut it.
