Женщина которая лечилась от пост-родовой депрессии и без ее ведома подвергалась экспериментам по программе ЦРУ наконец получила компенсацию.
Huard had entered Montreal's Allan Memorial Institute in 1958 after suffering postpartum depression following the birth of her second child. Her newborn had become ill and Huard was having difficulty coping.
But instead of helping her, the institute's director, Dr. Ewen Cameron, used her as a "guinea pig" to carry out experimental brainwashing techniques that he mistakenly believed could treat depression.
The experiments were carried out at the hospital between 1950 and 1965.
Huard said she knew the treatments were making her ill, but she said doctors were aggressive with her when she protested.
One day she had had enough. She asked her husband to call the Allan and say she wasn't coming in anymore for treatment.
"They told her that if she didn't come in they would send the police to get her," Huard's lawyer, Alan Stein told a Federal Court judge yesterday.

MK-ULTRA was launched by the CIA in 1953 and headed by the American chemist Sidney Gottleib. It reportedly funded projects both at home and abroad, including the Montreal study, and hoped to be able to find ways to extract information from prisoners and influence foreign leaders through brainwashing.
The project was brought under scrutiny in 1974 when newspaper reporters uncovered that MK-ULTRA had drugged unwitting subjects in the US with hallucinogens and secretly observed their actions. The project had been disbanded a year earlier and all record of its activities were destroyed.
Cameron’s research specifically revolved around ‘psychic driving’ - a potential cure, he believed, for depression and dementia that involved erasing patients memories and then building them back up again.
Huard said that she first came under the care of Cameron, a former president of the World Psychiatric Association, when she consulted him in 1951 regarding a case of postpartum depression after the birth of the second of her four children. She was in his care another two times up to 1962.
The court heard that Huard and hundreds of others were test subjects for Cameron’s ‘de-patterning’ experiments, which included the repeated playing of recorded messages while patients lay in a drug-induced semi-comatose state.
Huard said that she underwent electro-shock treatments and was administered dozens of unknown pills a day, keeping her semi- conscious.
‘She never knew that she was being subjected to these experiments or that she was being used by Dr. Cameron and his staff as a guinea pig,’ Alan Stein, Huard’s lawyer told the court.
The aftermath of the tests, she said, left her unable to function normally, afflicted by memory loss, depression and by migraine headaches.
‘I came out of there so sick that my mother had to live with me for ten years,’ she told reporters. ‘I couldn’t take care of my children any more.’
