* Vivisection of animals. This was another common practice among Renaissance scientists, who used animals to study the effects of different drugs and treatments. Vivisections were often performed without anesthesia, and the animals would suffer greatly.
* Human experimentation. This was a relatively rare practice during the Renaissance, but it did occur. Some scientists would experiment on themselves, while others would experiment on prisoners or other vulnerable individuals. Human experimentation was often dangerous and could result in serious injury or death.
In addition to these medical experiments, there were also a number of other medical practices that were common during the Renaissance. These included:
* Bloodletting. This was a common treatment for a variety of illnesses, and it was believed that bloodletting could help to remove impurities from the body.
* Leeches. Leeches were used to draw blood from the body, and they were often used to treat infections.
* Purging. This was a common treatment for constipation and other digestive problems, and it involved taking a laxative or other medication to cause diarrhea.
* Witchcraft. This was a common practice during the Renaissance, and many people believed that witches could cause illness or injury.
Medical practices during the Renaissance were often dangerous and ineffective, but they did lay the foundation for the development of modern medicine.
