Model organisms are organisms used for research. They are alive‚ non-human species used for the purpose of studying different human diseases or other related experiments in which human testing would be considered either unsafe or unethical. Scientists study a particular biological phenomenon on a model organism and try to relate their findings to other types of organisms that are more difficult to study. As an example‚ 60% of human disease genes have an equivalent in the fruit fly and nematode worm

You’re beautiful‚ they’re dead. Animal testing has been a debatable subject for years and it should be stopped. It is unethical‚ wasteful and it is bad science. Over 100 million animals are experimented on each year. That includes burning‚ cutting and poisoning them.

Human Trafficking- Unethical and Underestimated Every year‚ thousands of men‚ women‚ and children fall into the hands of traffickers. These traffickers not only capture individuals traveling abroad‚ but they also search for those in their own country (UNODC‚ 2016). Human trafficking has been around for thousands of years.

Desdemona is trapped by societal boundaries and expectations of women in the Elizabethan Era‚ supposedly assuming the role of a dependent‚ innocent and honest wife. However‚ despite this expectation‚ Desdemona is rare in that she openly voices her opinions about her circumstances‚ being shown as a flawed character from Act I‚ Scene I; eloping secretly without her father’s knowledge.

Is it fair to deceive humans in an unethical psychological experiment in order to receive new information? This is a question that I believe needs to be asked when one thinks of the Milgram experiment‚ a psychological study set up in the U.S in 1965. American psychologist Stanley Milgram held an experiment in order to see how severely ordinary human beings could knowingly cause harm to another human.

Others may argue that these experiments were needed to develop proper medical treatment for syphilis‚ however the research methods used were inhumane to the participants. The study methods and treatment of participants expose deep rooted problems in how medical research is conducted and how marginalized communities are treated unethically by not giving participants proper medical treatment and non-consensually infecting people with the disease
