Horrified

Many years ago a scientific experiment was done to understand the psychology of a human being...why some will murder or maim if ordered to do so even if it goes against their conscience.

I read the results of that experiment and wondered what kind of people could have followed it through to the very end.  

It was run this way...two rooms separated by a wall so that the person being tested couldn't see what was on the other side.  They were told it was another person attached to an electronic device which would be activated by the person being tested.  There was actually no-one attached to any electronic device.

The person being tested was told to shock the other person whenever they gave a wrong answer.  Each shock would be more powerful than the last and the final shock would kill them.  Each time a wrong answer was given and a shock applied, the person supposedly getting the shock would scream...louder and louder as the shock became more painful.

Almost all of the people being tested would keep shocking until they knew it would cause death.  Some even cried as they applied the "death" shock...but they did it anyway.

Yesterday I read a posting on Facebook that scared me.  It was posted by a "good Christian" woman and it suggested that, instead of just a wall to stop migrants from entering the U.S., it should be an electrified wall.  Disgusting beyond words!!!
