    He was a strong supporter of testicles grafting. The now-debunked theory that testicular transplant could cause male rejuvenation and age reversal was first proposed in 1889 and grew popular during the 1920s.[5] Stanley performed grafting experiments on prisoners, transplanting testicles from executed prisoners to other inmates. Animal testicles (from goats, boars, rams, and deer) were also used, if testicles could not be procured from executed prisoners.

    He was also known for doing plastic surgery on inmates that were deformed or had visible injuries, before their release. He thought that it would help them to integrate easier into society again.

    This is a very biased article, considering where it was published. It paints a very positive picture of him.

    It acknowledges the experiments, but keeps it light on the details.

    Whereas this article seems to paint a more realistic picture of the “beloved” doctor.
