Ethics In Scientific Research
Overview
Prepare a 3 pages of testimony for a local public hearing on the use of animals in medical research. Your testimony will contrast emotional responses and reasoned ethical analysis. Explain the final position you will take on the issue when you speak at the hearing.
Bioethical issues in medicine, scientific research, or other areas are fraught with difficult trade-offs. Beliefs, emotions, and reasoning may pull us in different directions. Developing a sound approach to bioethical decision making requires a disciplined consideration of the evidence.
Context
Science is the pursuit of knowledge, but there is nothing in the scientific method that specifically references ethics. Scientific research without ethics can lead to extreme violations of human rights and human beings. Much of our science fiction concerns itself with such horrors. Research ethics, then, is as important as clinical ethics, since both involve human well-being and morality.
