Serge Voronoff

Description: (Surgeon, Immunologist, Gynaecologist)
Serge Abrahamovitch Voronoff was a French surgeon known for transplanting monkey testicle tissues onto men as an anti-aging therapy in the 1920s and 1930s. Despite initial success and wealth, his theories were widely criticized and mocked by the medical community. He became known as the "monkey gland man" for his controversial methods. Ultimately, Voronoff's work was discredited, and most of his claims were later debunked.
