ETHICS DEBATE -    which was the worst?

In order to prepare for the in-class debate/discussion: NO ADVANCE COLLABORATION NECESSARY

1st step -  Read Chapter 4 ( O'Leary) - especially pp. 75-78

2nd Step - View the author's video talk for this chapter: O'Leary: Chapter 4: Undertaking Credible and Ethical Research | Online Resources (sagepub.com) [if link doesn't work, acccess by logging into this textbook's Student Resources site on Sagepub.com

3rd step -  On your own, look up some basic details on these "notorious" research projects [assignments listed below]. Details widely available online.

4th step -  Each person should be prepared to debate (argue) this claim: "I propose that my example , __________________________[ Tuskegee, FaceBook-Cornell, Milgram]  , is the most outrageous (egregious) example of unethical research--because..........."

Note:  I have given you your claim. Each of you is responsible for providing evidence (data)  & warrant (rationale) that PROVES why your example was the worst

5th step -  Be prepared to discuss whether this experiment would have happened or would have happened in the same way if there had been  IRB review.

NOTE: 1-3 people will be asked to serve as judge to make the declaration of which research represented the worst ethics.
