* ''Series/Siren2018'': Ben experiments on himself in Season 3 through injections of merpeople DNA. It results in him gaining some of the merpeople's natural abilities, like enhanced healing and senses. He was hoping to prove they were safe for treating his mother's paraplegia, but found much more.

See also NoControlGroup. May overlap with SelfMadeSuperpowers, if the purpose (and result) of the experiment was the character gaining superpowers. May also overlap with GettingSickDeliberately, if the character decides to test something by getting themselves ill first.

* ''Animation/ChuckChicken'': In "Jinx Power", Pen and Guin fool around in Dr. Mingo's laboratory by mixing and ingesting several chemicals just to see the effects they would have on them. Some results include sprouting an afro, sprouting spots on their armor, gaining muscles that become as limp as noodles later, and self-inflation. Needless to say, Dr. Mingo isn't impressed.

** The cinchona tree works, by the way. Hahnemann's logic, though, is bollocks.

General clarification on work content


** If they assist Instance and Tangent with finding the Shimmer cure, one option they have is infecting themself with the disease, then trying the cure. In fact, in loops in which they know the cure works, but need to convince the colony's scientists, the option is encouraged.

Added DiffLines:

* In the dark, gritty {{cyberpunk}} {{urban fantasy}} world of ''TabletopGame/{{Shadowrun}}'', the physical world operates on three layers: meatspace (the physical world), {{cyberspace}}, and [[SpiritWorld Astral space]]. Cyberspace and Astral space overlap the same place at the same time, but are essentially invisible to each other. [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Dragons]], naturally, are physical creatures with a massive magical presence in both physical and astral space. So, Emerging Futures, a subsidiary of the MegaCorp Ares, kidnapped the young dragon Eliohann to test him for compatibility with a net connection. Eliohann himself was interested in the experiment. It was some years, but Eliohann went from the golden guinea pig to having earned a controlling interest in Emerging Futures. It was, after Eliohann negotiating with Ares for the greenlight and keeping Eliohann on as the CEO of Emerging Futures, but Eliohann agreed to be fitted with the standard [[BrainComputerInterface datajack]]. As a creature of magic, not technology, Eliohann temporarily went insane, but the result was deemed a success, and Eliohann became a noteworthy techy, something unheard of for dragons. He would later be one of the victims of Crash 2.0 (a minor apocalypse, a "mere" [[ApocalypseHow/Class1 Class 1]] where the world pick up the pieces and move on). Eliohann, however, flatlined. His body remained comatose, but his consciousness didn't dip into the Astral, but dipped into cyberspace, a known, if rare and very mysterious phenomenon.
