5. The Isolated Head of a Dog Experiment.
This experiment took place in the year 1940. After surgically amputating a dog’s body from the head, the dog was connected to a machine which performed all of the necessary tasks a body might perform to sustain life. However, this is a truly miserable existence, as the head of the dog could not move. Additionally, the dog could eat; but it was pointless because food passed through the bottom of it’s esophagus and came right back out.
