What Would You Do For Science?

In this segment, we'll talk about some of the most bizarre science experiments of all time--including elephants on hallucinogens, scientific tickling, and bringing dogs back to life.

Plus, what's it like for the people who participate in extreme experiments? We'll hear from a woman who was blindfolded for five days and another subject who spent 84 days lying in bed.
