I think the doctor Nemur and Doctor Strauss did act ethically because they tested the procedure on a mouse instead of testing it on Charlie right away. People think that they should of not used Charlie Gordon for their science experiment and the doctors did not act ethically. The mouse was smart and had smartness for a long time so they decided to try to make a human smart which was ok to Charlie Gordon, because he wanted to be smart. Ethics is what you feel is right or wrong and these doctors acted right. This essay will outline why they tested this operation on Charlie to make him smarter.
Before this procedure even started on Charlie Gordon they tested the procedure on a mouse to make sure the mouse will be ok in this procedure

    Henrietta Lacks Pros And Cons

    When HeLa cells started to be sold, do you think Dr.Gey should have stepped in to assure that Henrietta Lacks’ family was compensated in some way? Do you think they should be compensated at all? Dr. Gey should have looked out for the Lacks family and let them know about the cells back in 1951. The lives of Henrietta’s children would have been greatly improved had they had that money. The Lacks family deserves compensation not only because Henrietta’s cells were taken without permission, but because without them, science would be nowhere near where it is today.…

    Critique Of Stanely Milgram's Experiments

    Stanely Milgram was a social phycologist who conducted an experiment in 1963 about nonviolent people being capable of hurting others due to obeying the authority under pressure despite their feeling of remorse.

If the learner failed to the duty, he would received a punishment of a dose of high voltage shock. Although the purpose of the experiment was to test how the learner was capable of learning, it to was to test the capability of the teacher to continue the experiment whether or not they felt guilt.…

    Charlie Dialectical Journal

    I think charlie was kind of treated like an animal because these doctors didn't know if it would work on a human or what the effects could be. The psychologists did not publicize what was going on. No one or thing was harmed or mistreated in the book. In my opinion, the surgery wasn't morally or ethically right because I believe we were all put on this earth as we are and we shouldn’t change ourselves based off of society. However, they did go about it fairly nicely and complied with the ethics of psychology…

    “I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body, as well as the infirm.” These doctors that performed these surgeries showed a blatant disregard for human autonomy. There is absolutely no justification for what they did. Dr. Rosenfeld did what he felt he needed to do by bowing the whistle on this crime. They violated the Hippocratic oath they swore to uphold.…

Then to try and root out any kind of bias they may hold. Socialigist should always respect others right to disagree with them is talkeda about.

The are many unethical points in this study that were overlooked. One being is that the men were not informed on the whole purpose of the experiment or the dangers of the study.

    Was Neubauer's Study Unethical?

    One reason why the study was unethical was that no one knew what was really going on. The text says that for a study to be ethical all parties must know what is being researched, what one will experinece, and any risks that may arise due to the experiment. Neubauer failed to tell the parents which adopted the children, anything other than that the kids were a part of an ongoing study. Both the parents and children didn't know what to expect and didn't know of the risks that the experiment brought because Neubauer declined to tell them anything about the experiment. According to the sisters they are very much alike even though they grew up in completely different places.…

    Pros And Cons Of Tuskegee Experiments

    In the past there have been experiments conducted that have done more harm and little to no good. There is a line that can be crossed between a toll being taken for the greater good versus people being exploited and put in harm’s way. There can be a larger benefit to society for the sacrifice that people have made. However, there are several experiments that cross that line and have little to no benefit to society or the greater good. People should not suffer for trivial findings, nor should people be treated in an unethical way for an experiment.…

    Milgram Experiment Introduction Many people question whether the Milgram experiment was ethical or not, and whether the experiment should had been allowed at all. But like most significant psychological discoveries, sometimes ethics could’ve been overseen in order to obtain great data. Because of Milgram experiment, psychologists today have a better understanding of group dynamics. Milgram’s experiment enabled better understanding of human obedience to an authority figure. Ethics that might have been violated throughout the process of Milgram’s study can be justified in the experiment itself.…

    Neal D. Gluck's Second Thoughts Of An Animal Researcher

    Although some topics may be considered controversial, they need to be talked about. This is true with the subject of animal testing. In an article published in the New York Times, "Second Thoughts of an Animal Researcher", author John P. Gluck informs the reader why a scientist, who formerly conducted experiments on monkeys, would change his views to be against the practice of animal experimentation. He does this by using personal experiences. In another article, "Animal Research is Wasteful and Misleading", authors Neal D. Barnard and Stephen R. Kaufman use scientific data and evidence to make a logical case against animal testing.…
