The Millgram Experiment. The Stanford Prison Experiment. Randomized trials on orphaned and abandoned children. Stem cell research. Studying the effects of torture.

Does “ethics” mean what you think it means?

  1. I was part of one of those experiments in Psych 101 at Stanford.
    Before his famous prison experiment, Zimbardo conducted a version of the Milgram experiment.
    It made me very distrustful of authority figures. Not a bad outcome.

  2. Second great episode in as many weeks. Had to know that bringing up stem cells would ruffle feathers!

    Looking forward to next week too – looks like there could be a three-peat in the works.

    I’m enjoying all the Canadian Content, myself. :)
