Can you justify such research as permissible within the current ASA ethical standards? Or the standards you learned from the NIH Human Subject Training this week? If not, do you believe that these standards should be altered so as to permit Milgram-type or Zimbardo-type research?

Please watch the two videos in Week 2 folder about Milgram’s Obedience Study and Zimbardo’s Prison Experiment. Then discuss the following questions:
Should social scientists be permitted to conduct replications of Milgram’s obedience experiments? What about Zimbardo’s Prison Experiment?
Can you justify such research as permissible within the current ASA ethical standards? Or the standards you learned from the NIH Human Subject Training this week? If not, do you believe that these standards should be altered so as to permit Milgram-type or Zimbardo-type research?
Discuss your opinions about these two experiments and how they violate the ethic codes.
