JOHNSON & JOHNSON TALC
Back in 1971, Johnson & Johnson funded a study that injected 10 Pennsylvania prisoners with asbestos (Fierce Pharma article)
A Reuters examination of many of those documents, as well as deposition and trial testimony, shows that from at least 1971 to the early 2000s, the company’s raw talc and finished powders sometimes tested positive for small amounts of asbestos, and that company executives, mine managers, scientists, doctors and lawyers fretted over the problem and how to address it while failing to disclose it to regulators or the public.

STANFORD PRISON EXPERIMENT
The Stanford prison experiment (SPE), also referred to as the Zimbardo prison experiment (ZPE), was a controversial psychological experiment performed in August 1971 at Stanford University. It was designed to be a two-week simulation of a prison environment that examined the effects of situational variables on participants' reactions and behaviors. Stanford University psychology professor Philip Zimbardo managed the research team who administered the study.[1] Zimbardo ended the experiment early after realizing the guard participants' abuse of the prisoners had gone too far.
