Hour4/5
1. I believe that Genie should not have moved around as much as she did. Genie needed a permanent environment in which she could actually adjust to. The research got in the way for Genie. I believe she needed to just be taken care of and be tended to. I also believe that Genie needed to be loved and feel loved instead of being recorded as a experiment.
2. Once the Rigler’s grant had ran out the Rigler’s decided to give Genie up. The fact that Genie keeps moving from place to place gives me the assumption the Genie was not able to actually become familiar with her surroundings. I believe that Genie needed to just be loved and cared for as a child as I said before. This affected Genie negatively because she went from being in a household with two parents to going back to a foster home with tons of children around her.
3. The person that I think should give consent is a judge. I believe that doctors or researcher’s should have to write up what they plan on taking out of the research, how they plan on collecting data, what good the data will do, what they want to learn from this experiment, and things of that such. The judge should be able to look at the big picture as a whole and determine if they want to allow this experiment to be active or not. Due to the parents misbehaviors I believe it will be better to have someone that has authority to determine this decision because you never know why the parents acted as they did and if the parents have a mental disorder who knows if the child’s grandparents are going to respond the same way.
4. I believe that her social environment began to affect her heredity. If Genie would have been treated like a child and taken care of like she was a child when she was younger I believe she would not have had an issue. If her parents would have spoken to her and let her walk and eat I believe she would have been okay. Instead she was treated like she was an animal. Your environment
