👉 Cincinnati Human Experimental Project was a 1940s CIA/US Public Health Service-funded study that involved injecting participants with drugs and chemicals to test the effects of nerve agents, and was known for its severe unethical violations; many participants were not fully informed of what they'd been given or their right to withdraw at any time. The experiment ended in public outrage due to widespread media coverage when it became clear that hundreds of people had died as a result of the tests.
