Various thoughts on human morality

They couldn't exactly have done this by saying, "Hey, we're going to find out how far a person will shock someone when directed to do so by an authority figure", because then people would have had that in mind, and likely rebelled against them just because. Or perhaps they would have shocked them anyway, assuming that it was a scam. Perhaps this would be another experiment needed to be conducted. :wacko:

Yea, they were better off with another better thought out experiment. Just because something is hard doesn't mean doesn't mean you take the unethical way out.

There will always be bias in an experiment, which is why the concept of repeated testing and the ability to be duplicated are important. Ultimately, people will always act diffrently in a setup setting, just because it is set up.
