👉 Bureau of Human Research Program (BHRP) conducted a series of controversial human experimentations between 1953 and 1972, primarily during the height of the Cold War, where participants were subjected to psychological torture and other forms of cruel treatment under false pretenses of scientific research. Many victims suffered severe physical and mental trauma as a result of these experiments, which raised significant ethical concerns about the standards set by BHRP for human experimentation in the United States.
