Wired recently ran an article about seven creepy experiments that would answer so much... if only science ethics would allow the risks and procedures. The article carefully explains why each experiment is ethically improper, but would answer some history-changing questions.
I thought the most interesting was mapping a developing embryo with a visible alteration and watching the cells develop and separate. It would make leaps of progress into understanding how a single cell becomes a fully developed human being. The article doesn't mention that it would take a second run to provide complete results, but they explain the (totally obvious!) flaws with performing such an experiment.
Some are silly, some are worthy of a Robin Cook novel, but this was interesting and creative.
