Lucy The Chimp's Tragic Life

Some of the biggest instances of messed-up history happen when researchers try experiments that somehow go against nature — especially when those experiments are done on unwilling participants.

In the case of Lucy the chimp, her whole life was an experiment, and it ended in tragedy.

Born in 1964, Lucy was a chimpanzee whom psychologists Maurice and Jane Temerlin decided to raise as if she was a human being. She learned how to dress herself, how to make tea, how to communicate, and even how to lie. She also formed a bond with caretaker Janis Carter, helping to shape the course of her life. But was the experiment worth it? This is the tragic story of Lucy the chimp.
