Animal Research Scenario and Reflection

In the scenario assignments, you are asked to reflect on responses to the presented scenario. This should not just be writing down your first reaction or what you already know. Reflection involves critical thinking, which means rethinking your existing knowledge and previously held opinions in light of what we have learned about theories of ethics, logic, and reasoning. You will need to question your existing knowledge and beliefs.
To complete each scenario assignment:
• Complete the entire scenario.
• Compose your reflection in a Word document and be sure to address, at a minimum, the following questions:
o Why do you feel the way you do about the issue presented?
o Of the four responses offered in the scenario, which do you feel is the most ethical and why?
• Support your conclusions with evidence and specific examples from the textbook, as well as other sources as needed.
• Your reflection must be 1-2 pages in length and follow APA formatting and citation guidelines as appropriate.

I chose the scenario B
B. I agree with Dr. Miller. He is not advocating that all research be abolished, rather that we take a closer look at what we are doing and what tests are necessary. If we can stop animal suffering and throwing away innocent lives unnecessarily, we ought to do it. We can proceed from a scientific standpoint, take a middle ground, and change attitudes like that of the AMA. In the process of changing minds, we can hopefully save a lot of animal lives as well.
