Come up with five ethical guidelines for research. Write statements that reflect your own views of what is right and wrong. If you really love animals, an example of one guideline might be “No animals may be used in research of any kind.” However, when coming up with these guidelines, be thoughtful about what they really mean. Think of the information you read about earlier. Try to phrase your guidelines in a way that would allow research that you think would be beneficial to still be done. You may find that certain circumstances may cause you to rethink your own ethics!
