Pentagon, spy agencies divulge details of U.S. government’s experiments on humans

U.S. national security officials say they have made important changes to their experiments on human subjects since a botched research project in 1953 led to a CIA scientist drugged with LSD falling to his death from a 13th-floor hotel window.

As American innovators race to win an advantage in artificial intelligence, biotech and other emerging technology, U.S. officials said they have established rules to keep government-funded research from going haywire again. 

The Army’s Kimberly L. Odam told The Washington Times the Defense Department’s experiments involving human subjects are moral and lawful.
