Textbook Question
Chapter 51, Problem 10TYU
SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND SOCIETY Researchers are very interested in studying Identical twins separated at birth and raised apart. So far, the data reveal that such twins frequently have similar personalities, mannerisms, habits, and interests. What general question do you think researchers hope to answer by studying such twins? Why do identical twins make good subjects for this research? What are the potential pitfalls of this research? What abuses might occur if the studies are not evaluated critically? Explain your thinking.

Come up with five ethical guidelines for research. Write statements that reflect your own views of what is right and
wrong. If you really love animals, an example of one guideline might be "No animals may be used in research of any
kind." However, when coming up with these guidelines, be thoughtful about what they really mean. Think of the
information you read about earlier. Try to phrase your guidelines in a way that would allow research that you think
would be beneficial to still be done. You may find that certain circumstances may cause you to rethink your own
ethics!
As research techniques and technologies change, new ethical questions arise about whether the benefits of these techniques and procedures justify their use. Which technologies do you consider are current threats to ethical behavior in science and threaten to exploit research subjects?
Which statement/s is/are true about science, technology, and society as a discipline?
It is relatively a young field.
It applies methods drawn from history, philosophy, and sociology to study the nature of science and technology.
It judges the value of those previously independent and older disciplines (history of science, philosophy of science, and sociology of science) and their place in the society.
A, B, and C are correct.
B and C are correct
