Central intelligence management (CIA) presumably conducted and sponsored the conduct of secret experiments on children with schizophrenia, many of them were adopted orphans or lived in orphanages. It became known to the Danish radio.
Experiments in question were carried out in the early 1960s. They were carried out at at least 311 Danish children. First of all, the CIA is accused of supporting such operations, allegedly held in Copenhagen’s urban hospital. It is reported that studies have studied the connection between schizophrenia and heredity or the environment.
At the same time, the children themselves did not say, in which studies they participate – even on their completion. About what happened only in 1977, when the Danish psychiatrist Find Schulsinger published the dissertation in which the results of experiments were described in detail. The representative of the Danish Museum of Welfare Jacob Knaga Rasmussen said that this is the first documented case when children under guardianship were used for research purposes. ” He stressed that this is contrary to the Nuremberg Code of 1947.
CIA representatives and Danish authorities have not yet commented on this information.
