For my psychology project, I decided to countercondition my boyfriend's fear of Cher. To do this, I used the technique known as 'flooding.'
After 9 hours of being forced to watch the movie "Mermaids" and listen to songs such as "Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves" the subject showed signs of distress and eventually passed out.
Two days later, the subject is still in a comatose state and shows no signs of waking. However, when shown a picture of Cher the subject did not behave fearfully. I consider this project a success.
....I'm concerned about the ethics of this experiment....
