Introduction
Ethics in research is of paramount importance and most modern researchers and institutions go to great lengths to follow appropriate guidelines. That being said there was a time in the not too distant past that ethics were an afterthought. Also, there are still many gray areas and some unscrupulous individuals. So let's explore some examples of poor ethics in research.
Initial Post Instructions
Conduct internet or library research, and locate an example of unethical research. If you need some inspiration chapter three of your textbook is filled with examples but don't use them for your post. After you find an example, describe the study for the other students and discuss what the ethical issues were in the study. Finally, if appropriate, suggest another method to conduct the research in an ethical manner.
Secondary Post Instructions
When you reply to your fellow students compare and contrast your study and theirs. Also, fill in any gaps that the student may have in the application of ethics.

• Initial Post Length: minimum of 250 words
• Secondary Post Length: minimum of 200 words per post
