Summary

They Teach, how to explore a range of ethically compromised psychological experiments from the past that have nonetheless contributed significant insight into the human condition. Dr. Polk spells out the contemporary ethical principles now in place to protect both subjects and science but also examines why every new technological and scientific advancement brings a new set of ethical conundrums for people to grapple with.
