Harmful Experimentation

Harmful experimentation involves testing treatments or procedures in ways that can cause injury, suffering, or other negative effects without sufficient regard for safety or ethics. It often disregards the well-being of subjects, whether humans or animals, to gain scientific knowledge. Such experiments can involve unapproved drugs, invasive procedures, or inadequate consent, and may lead to long-term harm, ethical violations, and loss of trust in scientific research. Ethical standards and regulations aim to prevent harmful experimentation, ensuring that studies prioritize safety, informed consent, and the minimization of risk.
