Week 8
Assignment
Assignment:
Scientific Norms
Purpose
To assess your ability to:
- Explain
why informed consent is important in research using human subjects.
- Describe
the benefits of following the norms for expected behavior in science.
- Describe
the consequences of not following the norms for expected behavior in
science.
Overview
Imagine that you have a good friend
who you haven't seen for a few years. You are catching up and find that your
friend has become very interested in science. As you listen to your friend, you
discover that she is a bit "overboard". She goes on about how
scientific discovery is the most important endeavor and that nothing should
stand in its way. "What do you mean?", you ask. "Are you saying
that you should be able to do anything in the name of science?" Your
friend replies, "Not anything, but just about. Scientific discovery has
helped in so many ways. Scientists should not be restricted in the experiments
they conduct to advance knowledge, even if some people don't agree with some of
the methods used. There are too many controls that impede discovery. A lot more
should be left to the discretion of the scientist instead of having to get
permission for everything and make sure that participants are aware of
everything."
