What caused social scientific researchers and their audiences to focus efforts on ethical data collection? Please provide an example. Furthermore, what is the Nuremberg Code?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary but may discuss the rise of concern about ethics as a result of horrible acts by the Nazis during World War II in the name of medical experimentation. Other breaches included research at the Tuskegee Institute, where participants were forced to suffer through syphilis without being given available treatment that would have relieved their pain. The researchers did this to learn more about the progression of the disease. Because of these breaches in ethics, the Nuremberg Code was written to spell out directives for ethical experiments involving human subjects.
