During this interview
each question requires from you a definite response. This response

qualify your reply you are free to do so. Do you confirm that this
is so?

QUESTIONS PROCEEDS AS WRITTEN UNLESS ANY RESPONSE IS NEGATIVE
OR TOO HESITANT.
State your name

Age
***
You have signed
a written agreement to willingly undergo a long-term physical restraint
and endurance test?
***
You have been
given assurances that your physical and mental health will be safeguarded
- but the tests will be intense, uncomfortable and maybe painful?
***
You are at liberty
to back out at any point up until the end of this video interview.
Correct?
***
You agree that
after a given point, having confirmed that you agree to the parameters
of the proposed test, you will relinquish all rights to opt out.
***
Your participation
will continue by force if necessary, once you have agreed to the general
parameters of the physical restraint endurance test and confirmed
your willingness to enter into this agreement. Confirm.
***
If the specifics
of your written and videoed agreements are adhered to by me and my
assistants you confirm that you are willing to accept and endure all
and any physical restraint, immobilization, incarceration however
uncomfortable, stressful, intense this may become?
***
You accept that
these experiments may last anything from two to twenty-four hours?
***
You accept that
you may physically be prevented from resisting, questioning, or at
times even communicating with the coordinators of the experiment once
it has commenced?

as you are aware, no respiratory, heart or circulatory weaknesses?

every physical restraint position and situation which we deem necessary
to this experiment?

This is your final
opportunity to specify and confirm any limitations or exclusions.
Feel free at this point to stipulate any prohibition or exclusions.
You are also at liberty to ask any questions at this point.
DURING THE
NEXT SEQUENCE THE VOLUNTEER IS ENCOURAGED TO LIST VERBALLY ANY
PREVIOUSLY STIPULATED EXCLUSIONS.
HE IS ALSO
PROMPTED TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS OR CLARIFY POINTS PREVIOUSLY AGREED.
INTERVIEWER
MUST AT THIS POINT INTRODUCE ANY PREVIOUSLY WRITTEN EXCLUSIONS
NOT VERBALLY RESTATED BY THE SUBJECT.
In your written
agreement you have confirmed that beating, striking, physical and
verbal abuse will not be included in the experiment: not because you
stipulated it, but because the objective is survival of the effects
of restraint, immobilization and isolation. Correct?
***
You also agreed
that it shall be our objective to test your limits by bringing you
to a point when you would, if permitted, terminate the experiment.
Yes?
***
You have agreed
that if such point is reached you wish NOT to be allowed to terminate
the experiment. Yes?
***
This agreement
to allow us to explore your limits and continue with the experiment
by force if necessary is willingly accepted?
***
Final clarifications.
(DEPENDING ON SPECIFIED EXCLUSIONS) You agree to
be restrained by any means, with any materials in any position we
deem appropriate and not injurious to your health?
***
You agree that
we and only we shall decide if any situation or position for whatever
duration is too demanding for you to endure?
***
You agree specifically
to being gagged if and when necessary?
***
You agree to be
blindfolded, hooded or otherwise isolated as we see fit?
***
You accept that
air supply may occasionally be limited but not beyond a safe and professionally
controlled level?

in the initial stages in terms of entering the experiment clothed
or unclothed?

NO specifically sexual activity but genital restraint or encasement
may be part of the total physical control situation?

that there may also be non-sexual anal or oral plugging as part of
the total physical control. This has not been excluded?

and without duress?

You are now ready
to being a period of confinement, physical restraint for an undetermined
period lasting from two to twenty-four hours as I and other investigators
decide?
