The topic of research ethics comes up in a philosophy class. Because she knows that you are taking a psychology course, the professor asks you how psychologists deal with the issue of ethics when it comes to human and animal research
How would you respond?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Animal research has allowed important breakthroughs in many areas of behavioral science (include examples). Heightened awareness of the fact that nonhuman animals cannot give informed consent should lead to increased scrutiny of the need for animal research and of ways to refine procedures so that they do not harm animals or put them at risk. Mention observational studies in naturalistic settings.
