What's the most interesting, yet completely unethical experiment you would like to see done?

1. Anything on how ______ affects the development of a child. Ex: Raise a child that's never exposed to music, or a certain common word, or an integral piece of technology. Or a child that's only ever around one or two people. Or a child that sees very few instances of color. Then suddenly throw them into the real world.

2. Clone the same person 1,000 times. Make 1,000 enclosed, environments for them to be raised in. Including human-like robots that care for the baby. Raise each one SLIGHTLY differently - sort of like parallel universes - start with a base, stock, white room, and then just start changing *things*. Each iteration away from baby #1 would be a little more different, until you reach baby #1000 and everything is completely different. When they turn 18, release them all at the same time. See what happens.

3. Would have to be on someone heinous, but white torture. Put someone in a white room, in white clothes eating only white food. Muffle all sounds outside the room and see what happens.

4. Put a dolphin in giant fucking mechsuit, and see what it can do with hands and feet.

5. If we were to transplant a human brain into another animal, like say, a sheep, would it be possible to hardwire the brain into the animal? Essentially creating a sheep piloted by a human

6. Figure out if there are any other primates that humans can reproduce with. There are lots of similar species that can reproduce with each other - typically producing sterile offspring. There's probably some other primate that a human could impregnate. I would be interested to see that child's ability to learn and communicate compared to a 100% human.

7. isolate a bunch of newborns, have a way of feeding them and keeping them alive until they are old enough to figure it out, but no interaction at all with adults, just them, see what they grow up to figure out, will there be a language they create?

8. Trap someone in a room with access to literally nothing but social media. Nothing else, just strict web access that only allows facebook, instagram, etc. I'd like to see their impression of the world and of humans after like 5 or 10 years.
