Synopsis
Self-Experimenters follows the stories of some of the world’s most committed scientists, who all use their own bodies and minds as the subjects of their trail-blazing and courageous experiments

Would you be prepared to risk your own health for the benefit of others? For centuries scientists have been prepared to take terrible risks with their own safety – all for the sake of medical knowledge. As a result we now have morphine, cardiac surgery and many other life-saving medicines. But in today’s safety first world, the scientific authorities are starting to discourage human self-experimentation. Will this block medical progress – or should we let scientists decide how far they want to go? Self-Experimenters follows the stories of some of the world’s most committed scientists, who all use their own bodies and minds as the subjects of their trail-blazing and courageous experiments. Startling footage shows just how close to the edge they are prepared to go.
