So Super Weird: The Podcast

Episode 7: BIOLOGICAL RESOURCE CENTER, STANLEY MILGRAM EXPERIMENTS


Listen Later

In 'So Super Weird's' seventh episode, we cover a "body farm" in Phoenix, Arizona that was raided in 2014 by the FBI. Biological Resource Center, ran by Stephen Gore, was a heinous and disgusting facility that accepted donations of human bodies that they would then dismember and sell for profit. This chop shop ran without accreditation, without medical supervision, without identification of bodies, and without telling families what their loved ones' corpses would be used for. 

We then go on to cover the obedience experiments operated by Yale professor and psychologist Stanley Milgram. Following the Nuremberg Trials, wherein Nazi criminals were tried for their crimes, Milgram wanted to test if ordinary people would exercise blind obedience to authority as those on trial did. In controversial and unethical experiments, Milgram tricked subjects into believing they were killing another person via electrocution.
