Forgot the name, but the one where they had a mock prison where half the subjects were guards with special treatment and the other half were prisoners. Though I'd be trying to figure out how to eliminate the whole "power corrupts" stuff, not just sitting back watching what happens as people die.

We can do sheep. And thus pretty much know how that would go for humans.
I'd want to know how many people would continue eating meat if they had to kill the animal themselves after getting trained how to do it. Or as an alternative instead of doing the killing yourself being physically present while someone else does it for you and you have to watch, smell, and hear them prepare it for you.
Is it really unethical though?
