Seriously unethical and abusive, certainly.
And remember that if you botch the exit, the carnival of reaction may be coming to a town near you.

Court records indicate the research at Glenwood is now being investigated by the U.S. Department of Justice, Iowa Board of Medicine and the Iowa Department of Public Safety’s Division of Criminal Investigation.
No surprise there.

Academics sometimes get irritated be the need to get approval for research ethics. This shows why it’s needed.

It makes you wonder why anyone thought it was a good idea* in the first place as at even a moment's glance it seems highly troubling from beginning to end.


*Assuming of course there was ever some kernel of good intentions there, rather than malicious motivations (financial, sexual, ego) from the get go. :|
This place is not a place of honor, no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here, nothing valued is here.
What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us.
This place is best shunned and left uninhabited.

I had presumed this would be some One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest era sh.t from the late '50s or early '60s. Not 2018.
