Summary:
The recent release of the documentary Three Identical Strangers (Wardle, 2018) in Argentina allows us to problematize one of the most atrocious experiments in the history of North American psychology. To elucidate the incidence of different nurturing in twins with identical genetic structure, the psychiatrist Peter Neubauer and his colleague Viola Bernard conducted an obscure investigation for years, disregarding a series of ethical objections in the experimentation with human beings, and demonstrating the disjunction between the normative field and certain scientific discourses commanded by the insane demand of all knowledge, especially when the ethical evaluation of professional practices is only subject to a subsequent analysis of their effects.
