An Ethical Dilemma Problem Throughout history it has been the practice in many countries to use convicts in scientific experiments or studies. One research group has developed a chemical that preliminary tests indicate that it will cure a fatal disease that affects many people. This group wants to seek volunteers from the prison population to advance their study. They would administer the chemical to consenting prisoners and monitor its effects on the human body.
No study of this type is ever risk free, but the researchers have designed a protocol that they believe minimizes it for the prisoners. Because there can always be unexpected consequences, including illness or death, participants are offered special privileges during the testing period and possible reduction in their sentences after the conclusion of the study. Since, some of the prisoners consenting to be treated for a long period of time with higher doses of the chemical than the other participants, this group is offered full pardons at the conclusion of the study as an inducement to consent. The research group has proposed its study to those in charge of the prison and these administrators must decide whether to allow the study. If John Stuart Mill was presented with this study proposal what would he determine? That is, from his Utilitarian perspective, would Mill claim this program is moral? Use his ideas and evaluate this program from his perspective and note how he would advise the administrators.

Running and sleep. sufficient sleep is important for adolescents for both their neural and psychological development. despite this, daytıme sleepiness and poor physical and psychological functioning related to chronic sleep disturbances are common. there is a growing body of evidence that exercise is associated with both better sleep and improved psychological functioning sixty participants were recruited from a high school in northwesten switzerlandthey were randomly assigned to either a running group or a control group, 30 to each group the running group ran every moming for a little over 30 minutes on weekdays for a three-week period. all participants used a sleep log for subjective evaluation of sleep, and sleep was also objectively assessed at the beginning and end of the study using a sleep electroencephalographic device that measured quantities such as sleep efficiency and time spent in the four different sleep phases. running was found to have a positive impact on both objective and subjective measures of sleep functioning what are the explanatory variable(s) and the response variable(s)? (a) outline the design of the experiment (b) (c) here are some more details on the treatment and control groups. all participants arrived at school at 7 a.m., and the running group did two laps on the track and then ran cross countrv in groups of at least four people for 30 minutes the control group remained seated at the track, worked on horpework. and interacted with each other. when the runners returned, all participants prepared for school and ate a breaktast that was provided. iwhy do you think the experimenters had the control group arrive at 7 am interact withdassmates and have breaktast together? explain. do you think having the control eroup do these activities is important for the types of conclusion that can be reached? how?
