Most mad scientists.

Vladimir Demihov and his two-headed dog

In 1954, Vladimir Demihov shocked the world, showing a monster created by surgery: two-headed dog. He created the creature in the laboratory on the outskirts of Moscow by grafting the head, shoulders and front legs of a puppy onto the neck of adult German Shepherd. The two heads simultaneously lapped milk from the bowls, and then being tightened with fear when the milk beginning to flow from the head of a puppy through the trimmed esophageal tube.

In just fifteen years Demihov created twenty-two-headed dogs. None of them did not live long, since they inevitably died because of tissue rejection. One month was a record for the period.

Stubbins Firf - Doctor drinking vomiting

Medical student Stubbins Firf, who lived in the early 19th century, in Philadelphia, naablyudaya that yellow fever was raging in the summer, but in winter disappeared, came to the conclusion that it was not a contagious disease. To confirm this theory, Firf showed that no matter how he tried to catch yellow fever, this did not happen.

He started with what he did at the hands of small incisions, and watered them "fresh black vomit" obtained from yellow fever patients. Then he dug in his eyes vomiting. He boiled it in a pot and inhale the vapors. He made vomiting pill and swallowed it. Finally he came to that whole drank a glass of pure, undiluted black vomit. Still not caught.

Unfortunately, he was wrong. Yellow fever is very contagious, but it is required to hit the blood stream directly. As a rule, this was due to mosquito bites.

Josef Mengele - "Angel of Death»

Josef Mengele - the German "doctor" who performed experiments on prisoners of Auschwitz during the Second World War. Dr. Mengele personally engaged in "selection" Prisoners arriving at the camp, and during his career has sent more than 40 000 people in the gas chambers of the death camps.

Mengele was filling his time many of the vile acts of cruelty, including dissections of live babies; castration of boys and men without the use of anesthetics; Women exposed high voltage shocks, under the pretext of testing their endurance. In one case, Mengele even sterilized group of Polish nuns with the help of X-ray radiation.

Special interest of Dr. Mengele called twins. In 1943, Mengele twins opted out of the total number of arrivals in the camp and placed them in special barracks. Of the 3 thousand twins survived only 300. The experiments Mengele contrary to medical ethics and human morality. Among them were attempts to change the eye color of the child injection of different chemicals into the eyes, amputation, attempts to stitch together twins and other inhumane operation. Those survivors of these experiments, were sacrificed.

Giovanni Aldini and his power dancing

In 1780, the Italian anatomy professor Luigi Galvani discovered that electrical discharges cause twitching limbs of dead frogs. What would happen, they thought, if you skip the current through the body of a man?

Galvani's nephew, Giovanni Aldini went on a trip to Europe, during which he offered the public a sickening spectacle. His most outstanding demonstration took place January 17, 1803, when he connects the poles 120 freestyle battery to the body of an executed murderer George Forster (George Forster).

When Aldini placed wires on the mouth and ear, jaw muscles began to twitch, and the killer's face writhed in a grimace of pain. The left eye open, as if he wanted to look at his tormentor. The show ended with a solemn fact that Aldini connect one wire to the ear, and the other thrust into his rectum. Corpse indulged in hideous dance. Newspaper «London Times» wrote: "uninformed part of the public might have seemed that the poor are about to come to life».

Sergei Bryukhonenko - the creator of the living head

Soviet physiologist Sergei Bryukhonenko created a primitive lung machine called "avtozhektor", and with this device he was able to keep the dog's head separated from the body, alive.

In 1928, he showed one of the goals of scientists around the world at the Third Congress of Physiologists of the USSR. To prove that the head lying on the table was alive, he showed how it reacts to stimuli. Bryukhonenko hit the table with a hammer and the head flinched. He shone in her eyes, and the eyes blinked. He even fed the head a piece of cheese, which immediately jumped out of the esophageal tube at the other end.

Andrew Ure - Scottish butcher

This scientist widely known for his achievements in physics and economics. But, in addition, a doctor had put a terrible experiment. The doctor took the corpse and stuffed his wires and batteries. After the current supply, the body began to wave his arms and legs so badly that kicking assistant. Many of the participants believed that the doctor did manage to revive the man.

Shiro Ishii - Doctor "Pure Evil»

Ishii was a microbiologist and the lieutenant of the Japanese Imperial Army. During the time of the Sino-Japanese War, he began to conduct his experiments in a secret project of the Japanese army.

Among his "services": vivisection (cutting in the living) of living people, including pregnant women whose doctors fertilized his laboratory; attempts to reverse the human limbs; Test grenades and flamethrowers on human beings; infecting people with viruses and diseases, in order to study the process of their occurrence.

Because of integrity, which he gave the US Army Peacekeeping, Shiro Ishii not served a single day in prison and died at the age of 67 from throat cancer.

Kevin Warwick - the first man-cyborg

Kevin - a world-famous personality (sometimes - infamous). He is the leader of the group, created at the time a lot of exotic cybernetic systems.

In 1998, a professor of surgery was performed, which resulted in him vshili hand a tiny chip that enabled remote control devices that can detect its signal. But from the point of view of cybernetics in surgery and that surgery was nothing special: the chip was autonomous. In 2002, Warwick vshili tiny pad containing a hundred subtle spikes. Golf stuck in a major nerve in his left hand and the professor intended for bilateral exchange of electric signals to his nervous system. With the help of a thin wire harness withdrawn from the hand at a distance of 15 cm away from the implant site, the internal electronics is connected to a radio transmitter that communicates with your computer. The professor has created an external mechanical arm, which repeats the movement of his hand.

John Lilly - creator liberator brain

Scientist, following the request to disconnect external stimuli from the brain, he invented the world's first insulated pressure chamber: a dark soundproof tank of warm salt water in which subjects could float for long periods of time in a state of sensory deprivation (isolation). Dr. Lilly and his colleagues were the first to participate in this study.

In the early sixties he got an idea of ​​the LSD and began a series of experiments in which he took psychedelics in isolated pressure chambers in the company of dolphins.

In the 1980s, Lilly conducted a project in which he tried to teach dolphins a computer-synthesized language. Later, Dr. Lilly created a project for the future "lab communications", which will be a floating living room, where people and dolphins could chat on an equal footing, and where they would find a common language. John foresaw that the time will come when the killing of whales and dolphins stop, "not because of the law that will, and thanks to each person who understands from birth that they are ancient, intelligent inhabitants of the earth; with great intelligence and great force of life. Do not those who kill, but those from whom to learn something. »

The last years of his life, John Lilly lived in Hawaii and was known for his eccentricity as well as a stable tendency to ketamine.
