1. Consider “The Stanford Prison Experiment.” Do you think the participants in this study sufferered harm? If so, what kind? What do you think the findings of the study were? Did the worth of the findings justify how participants were treated? Why or why not?

2. Consider the “Tea Room Trade” study. Keeping in mind all we have learned about research ethics this week, comment on issues of privacy, confidentiality, and consent as these relate to the study.

3. Contrast the U.S. Public Health Service study in Guatemala with Andrew Wakefield’s study in the U.K. many years later. What are the ethical issues surrounding each study, and are these to do with human subjects or research integrity? Do you view one study as more unethical than the other? Why?
