Instructions for:  The Belmont Report and "Unethical Studies"

 

 For this paper please review and study the information included in our course materials about the Belmont Report.  The Belmont Report is referenced and explained in our posted videos and in our assigned reading.  You might also choose to do additional research on the Belmont Report.  Along with reviewing and studying the Belmont Report please also review, study, and learn about the six “unethical studies” listed below and on our study guide. These studies are included in our course videos and reading but you might choose to do additional research.  For this paper please choose TWO of the six “unethical studies” to focus on.  Then, analyze the two “unethical studies” you choose by applying the THREE main elements of the Belmont report to each of the two studies. Please bold the names of your studies and bold the three main elements of the Belmont report.  Be sure to clearly explain any ways in which you understand the studies you choose to be in conflict with the Belmont Report. Lastly, tell me whether you think the studies you choose were ethical or would be ethical to repeat/replicate.
