So this is a literal re-hush of the Russian Sleep Experiment. At least the experimentation is on something actually logical and potentially useful. Schizophrenia. The whole thing is a shit show as it is. Go for a simple approach. You get a bunch of people who are suspected of having schizophrenia and other mental disorders. You want them cured with experimental drugs. You give them the drugs. The drugs make the problems worse causing the subjects to kill themselves in ways that might seem impossible or come off as murders.

Then one of the staff reveals they have mental issues too and opts to take the drugs to see what happens. Same stuff happens to him, at first he is contained and the stuff is recorded but then the drug gets too hard to deal with and the staff member ends up killing themself too.

Project gets closed and swiped under the rug as a result.

Still horrific and makes total sense, and it's still original enough. I've seen someone do a Milgram Experiment story that was a good read.
