Discussion: Ethics in Research

I’m working on a sociology multi-part question and need the explanation and answer to help me learn.

1. Should social scientists be permitted to conduct replications of Milgram’s obedience experiments? Zimbardo’s prison simulation? Can you justivy such research as permissible within the current ASA ethical standards? If not, do you believe that these standards should be altered to permit Milgram-type research?

2. How do you evaluate the current ASA ethical code? is it too strict, too lenient, or just about right? Are the enforcement provisions adequate? what provisions could be strengthened?
