slave experiments

Slave experiments refer to unethical scientific studies conducted on enslaved individuals, often without their consent or regard for their well-being. Historically, during periods such as the transatlantic slave trade and afterward, some researchers exploited enslaved populations to study health, physiology, or medicine. These experiments are now condemned for their violation of human rights, as they involved coercion, abuse, and exploitation, disregarding the dignity and autonomy of the subjects. They highlight a dark chapter in medical and scientific history, emphasizing the importance of ethics and informed consent in research today.
