The cruelest scientists in history!
Throughout history, scientists have developed medicine, alchemy, chemistry, physics and many other sciences. Most of their discoveries have been extremely useful gifts to humanity, paving the way for even greater progress in these areas. However, the coin has another side, much more sinister and selfish, these are the minds of those scientists who want to cause people more harm than good. Although more often than not, such scientists believe that the evil they produce is ultimately useful, but it is this fact that makes them insane.
Below are the 8 most diabolical scientific minds in history.
Paracelsus (Paracelsus)
1493 - 1541
The contribution of Paracelsus to toxicology was significant, and it was based mainly on astrology; the scientist is also widely known, as he provided society with a wide range of useful ideas and innovations. However, for all the good he had done, he was also confident that he could create homunculi, or small people no more than half a meter tall, that would perform actions very similar to golems. He seriously dealt with this issue, even using human hair and s***m in his experiments.
Alfred Nobel (Alfred Nobel)
1833 - 1897
For the first time, he began to use nitroglycerin in his invention of dynamite, Nobel gave the world the first serial use of deadly explosives. First, his invention killed his own brother Emil and several other workers in a factory accident. Then the number of dead was already estimated at hundreds of thousands. Eventually, he became so wealthy that he began funding an annual "Nobel Prize" event to distract people from his invention. Nobel did so after reading his own obituary, erroneously printed in a newspaper, calling him a "merchant of death."
Trokhym Lysenko
1898 - 1976
While his experiments did not result in mass casualties, Lysenko is on this list because his scientific dishonesty ultimately set the Soviet Union decades behind in its scientific research. Lysenko was the director of the institute of genetics, he himself specialized in the field of agricultural research. It was Lysenko's habit to report only on successes. His results were based on very small samples, inaccurate records, and the complete absence of a control group. There is no doubt that Lysenko abused the name of science almost no one did. Here is his quote: "In order to get a certain result, you have to want to get that particular result. If you want a certain result, you will get it. I only want people who will get the results I want."
Jack Kevorkian (Jack Kevorkian)
1928 - 2011
Kevorkian is known for publicly speaking out to allow and legalize euthanasia. According to him, he himself helped no less than 130 people die with her help. Imprisoned in prison in 1999, he served 8 years of his sentence for second-degree murder (in 1998, he was found guilty of poisoning Thomas Youk). The judge who found him guilty said at the time: "You were associated with another judge when you committed this crime, you did not have a license to practice medicine and you have not been licensed for eight years. But you have the courage to come on national television and show the world what you've done. Consider that you've already been stopped. Regardless of your views on euthanasia, you took an oath to save life, not take it."
Members of the Tuskegee Study
During the 40 years between 1932 and 1972, a public health organization in the United States conducted an experiment involving 399 black men (mostly poor and poorly educated) in the late stages of syphilis. The point was to collect data on the course of the disease when it is not treated. The researchers understood from the beginning that most of the information they would get after the autopsy, so great efforts were made to make sure that the subjects did not receive medical care anywhere else. The program came to an abrupt halt in 1972 when information about it became public domain. It would be easy to write this research off as racism, but it is not, because many of the scientists who participated in it were black.
Sigmund Rascher
1909 - 1945
Rascher was a scientist during the operation of N**i concentration camps during the Second World War. Rascher conducted the infamous hypothermic experiments at the Dachau concentration camp, in which three hundred men were held against their will in high-altitude conditions, infected with malaria, and subjected to medical research. At Dachau, Rascher also developed standard cyanide capsules that could easily be swallowed, intentionally or accidentally.
Joseph Mengele
1911 - 1979
Mengele gained notoriety as one of the SS's top doctors, who presided over the arriving prisoner warehouses, choosing who would be killed, who would become laborers, and who would participate in his horrific experiments. Among the prisoners of the camps, Mengele was known as the Angel of Death. Several times he personally killed people just to be able to analyze them later.
Shiro Ishii
1892 - 1959
Ishii was a microbiologist and lieutenant general of Division 731, a biological unit in the Imperial Japanese Army during the Second Sino-Japanese War. He studied medicine at Kyoto Imperial University. In 1932, he began the preliminary experiments of biological weapons as part of a secret project of the Japanese army. In 1936, Unit 731 was formed. Ishii built a huge complex, more than 150 buildings on an area of six square kilometers outside the city of Harbin, China.
Some of Ishiya's many atrocities: cutting people alive, including pregnant women, amputating people's limbs and "joining" them to other parts of the body, freezing some parts of the body on a living person, as well as further studying gangrene. People were used as live targets for testing grenades and flamethrowers. People were infected with various diseases under the guise of vaccinations, moreover, to study venereal diseases, men and women were deliberately infected with syphilis and gonorrhea through r**e.
Given immunity by the American occupation authorities at the end of the war, Ishii did not spend a single day in prison for his crimes and died at the age of 67 from throat cancer.
