Radiation Experiment on Albert Stevens

In 1945, a man named Albert Stevens was misdiagnosed as having terminal cancer and was unconsensually chosen for a radiation experiment since "he was doomed to die" anyway. He was injected with 131kBq of plutonium without his knowledge or consent. That’s is equivalent to 64 Sv (Sieverts) over 21 years. He survived exposure to the highest known radiation dose in any human and lived for another 20 years.
