«Ciência Proibida» is the historical and scientific popular science essay by Salvador Nogueira, published by Abril in paperback (250 pages, in Portuguese).
It reviews episodes in which science was used in ethically condemnable ways: Nazi medicine and the experiments of Joseph Mengele, the Japanese Unit 731, which used Chinese citizens as guinea pigs, extreme animal testing, and lobotomy, a procedure that even received a Nobel Prize. A look at the sinister side of science.
The original Portuguese subtitle is «As experiências científicas mais perigosas, assustadoras e cruéis já realizadas». It is part of Abril's Super Interessante collection.
For those interested in the history of science and the ethically questionable uses of 20th-century medical research.
