Project MKUltra is the code name given to a program of experiments on human subjects that were designed and undertaken by the United States Central Intelligence Agency.
His work was inspired and paralleled by the British psychiatrist William Sargant at St Thomas' HospitalSt Thomas' Hospital, London, and Belmont Hospital, Surrey, who was also involved in the Intelligence Services and who experimented on his patients without their consent, causing similar long-term damage.[60] In the 1980s, several of Cameron's former patients sued the CIA for damages, which the Canadian news program The Fifth Estate documented.[61] Their experiences and lawsuit was made into a 1998 television miniseries called The Sleep Room.[62]
