How do ethical concerns affect scientific research?
Answers
Scientific Research
Scientific research that is done correctly follows the scientific method. Something is observed and it is researched. Next, a hypothesis is generated and experimentation is done. After the data is analyzed, the hypothesis is either accepted or rejected.
Answer and Explanation:
Ethical concerns affect scientific research when scientists or groups of scientists let their personal bias or political persuasions affect the research being conducted. Scientific ethics involve doing experimentation and analysis of data without bias no matter what the conclusions point to. For example, if a scientist feels very strongly that the Sun has little effect on the Earth's climate and their data proves otherwise, they are supposed to report that their idea has been shown to be incorrect.
