Is unethical because the research did not inform the participants/subject what they will be having
or the risk involving the experiment. It is a fundamental responsibility of every researcher to do all in
his power to ensure that participants in a research study are protected from physical or psychological
harm, discomfort, or danger that may arise due to research procedures. This is perhaps the most
important ethical decision of all. Any sort of study that is likely to cause lasting or serious harm or
discomfort to any of her participants should not be conducted, unless that the research has the
potential to provide information of extreme benefit to human beings. But when she chose the
prisoners as subjects, she violated already their rights to be informed about the experiment and as if
the researcher is not valuing the life of this prisoner that is why they were chosen as participants.
She should have cleared and informed the participants of what is the benefits, risks and harm
involved in doing the experiment. She should not deceived the participants or conceal any
information. The researcher has determined whether her use of techniques is justified by the studys
prospective scientific or educational value, determine whether alternative procedures are available
that do not use concealment or deception, and ensure that the participants are provided with
sufficient explanation regarding the said experiment.
