I know a guy who works to the NIH. He is open to talking about his work like it's no big deal, to people he hardly knows. It's pretty messed up and he has no awareness of it to the point that he has zero discretion talking about it.
What he does? He performs brain surgery on monkeys, effectively giving them brain damage, and then does psych testing on them.
One day I was in a back yard grilling with him because we were invited to a common friend's house. He knows I do a bit of programming. He starts trying to get me to tell him how to write a program that can modify or create images that have similar visual properties of images of monkey's but aren't images of money's for the sake of creating control images for the psych testing. At this point I'm starting to infer that he's making them completely catatonic and they are trying to measure the degree of response to images to figure out what's still going on in there.
Yeah dude. I'm not going to help you write fucked up software for your fucked up test.

It's amusing to me, as a software engineer, how often people who aren't capable of being software engineers themselves think they can (not) "subtly" trick software engineers into writing unethical programs for them. It's like, you aren't clever enough to actually make these programs yourself, what makes you think you can successfully convince me to do it without me knowing what I'm doing?
"Bob, it'd be great if we could write a program that would convince more parents to cut off their childrens' dicks for 'science' so we can sell more foreskin cream... I mean uh, enhance ummmm testing for diseases and help save people!"
"LOLNO"
Full retard.
