MKUltra
Project MKUltra, or MK-ULTRA, was the code name for a covert, illegal human research program, run by the Central Intelligence Agency Office of Scientific Intelligence. This official U.S. government program began in the early 1950s, continuing at least through the late 1960s, using mainly U.S. and Canadian citizens as its test subjects.1) 2)
