Throughout history, we can find physicians and scientists who made important discoveries through self-experimentation or by risk-taking. Some were consciously exposed to plagues, some swallowed germs or chemicals and some put themselves in extreme physiological situations. Today, it seems that these stories are completely unnecessary: ethics, together with concrete controlled studies guidelines, suffice to avoid self-experimentations.
