Consider the ethical dilemma below (from pages 136-37). Compare and contrast how Kant’s ethics and Natural Law Theory would likely evaluate the researcher’s actions.*** Remember that copying/pasting from any course materials (other than your own words in the Prep Guide), the internet, or using generative AI like ChatGPT to help “write” or “proofread” or “improve” your answer violates my Academic Integrity policy. Note that generative AI is now incorporated into many popular writing and translating platforms (e.g. Grammarly, Quillbot, Google Translate, DeepL, etc.), so if you’re using those platforms, you’re using generative AI in violation of my policy. USE YOUR OWN WORDS or, if you are unable to do that, properly quote/informally cite them as I discuss in the Academic Integrity section of the Syllabus *** —–A researcher is conducting an experiment using one hundred adult subjects, hoping to finally discover a cure for liver cancer. Conducting this one last study is the only way to identify the substance that can cure the disease and save the lives of countless people. However, the experiment causes long-lasting, horrible pain in the subjects, and they will not be able to benefit in any way from the study’s success. The researcher would ordinarily never be able to enlist any subjects for the study because of these two facts, so to ensure the cooperation of the subjects, he lies to them: he says that being a part of the study will be painless and that it will increase their life span. The study is completed, the cure is found, and the subjects spend the next year in agony.
