Case Study 6.4
This scenario is an example of competing interests among stakeholders involved in animal research and care. As evident in the case, Dr. Jiao Fang is very correct because there is overwhelming evidence showing that the animals are seemingly in distress and pain. It is highly unethical to put animals in distress, high degree of discomfort, and pain. Dr. James Zogbys dismissive attitude and stance are detrimental to the proper treatment and care of the animals in the case. In this regard, Dr. Zogby is not taking care of animals in the right manner and as stated in Proverbs 12:10. Given the competing interests at hand, Dr. Jiao faces a dilemma on the right approach to address the issue without affecting the mentor-training relationship or jeopardizing her career with Dr. Zogbys lab. Finding a better alternative solution to the issue is critical given that improperly managing competing interests in animal research and care could have inappropriate impacts and results (Macrina, 2005). Therefore, the best alternative solution is for Dr. Jiao to recommend further observations of the animals to Dr. Zogby. She could also recommend the involvement of other stakeholders within or outside the lab in observing and monitoring the animals. Insights obtained from the observations could then be used to make necessary changes that enhance the safety and health of the animals.
Case Study 6.7
As evident in the scenario, Dr. Ellen Schwartz is facing a dilemma that could have significant ramifications for the experiments depending on the decision she makes or the course of action she takes. While Dr. Schwartzs initial plan seems to be the most ethical thing to do in the scenario, it could be deemed questionable in animal research regulations. One of the issues that could likely emerge if she goes ahead with her initial plan is the fact that she is not listed as an investigator on the protocol. On the other hand, if she does nothing about the scenario, she could be found liable for anything that happens to the rats on grounds of probably sabotaging the experiment. Therefore, the most suitable course of action for Dr. Schwartz is to create an emergency protocol and document all her observations. When documenting her observations, Dr. Schwarz should gather as much information as possible regarding what happened to the rats. This could...
…regarding the experiment and how each step was carried out will be provided. Reporting the issue to IACUC will be in line with the biblical principle of subjecting oneself to governing authorities as shown in Romans 13:1.Social Drinking and Drinking Coffee
Drinking coffee and social drinking basically involve the consumption of refreshments for various reasons. Social drinking is different from drinking coffee because social drinking involves alcohol consumption in various social settings. While both of them do not necessarily create personal, mental or physical problems, social drinking can result in alcohol addiction if carried out excessively. However, both social drinking and drinking coffee could make one a slave to the substances if they result in addiction as stated in 2 Peter 2:19.
Using Valium, Tobacco, and Marijuana
Valium, tobacco, and marijuana can be addictive substances if used regularly and for a prolonged period of time. These three elements are stimulants that generate different bodily reactions and responses. The potential addiction to these substances could result in slavery to substances if the individual is overcome by the addiction as stated in 2 Peter 2:19. Valium and marijuana can be used for medical and recreational purposes whereas tobacco is primarily used for…

Scientific Research Design: What are the effects of human resources outsourcing on leadership performance and employee commitment? There is speculation that an outsourced human resources (HR) department will have a negative impact on a company's performance. Furthermore, the researcher believes that this impact will be more significant in larger companies. To test this hypothesis, the researcher will perform case studies of two companies, a large one and a small one, that
Scientific Research Collect Methods Comment by Sabina: Scientific research is obtainable through several methodologies, of which qualitative and quantitative methods are highly utilized. These two research methodology are highly used in the field of social sciences and marketing. Social scientist utilizes these two data collection tools to collect data that would otherwise not be observable without these tools. Marketing researchers utilizes these tools to collect information about the market, gain information about
In these cases, the ethical and moral choice seems to be to find another way to test these products that is not so cruel, and to keep cruel procedures out of the labs altogether. The case of the cat sex experiments at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City in the 1960s are another case in point. Researchers maimed cats in a variety of ways, from removing
By using animals in research, and through animal research science learns how certain chemicals "interact with living systems"; this knowledge can be "translated into protection of humans, animals, and the environment from toxic levels of natural -- as well as man-made -- exposures (SOT, 6). Legal and professional accountability In Canada there are Research Ethics Boards (REBs) that have the power to authorize or reject funding for experiments with animals; when
The well-being of an animal, preservation of species and biological diversity is always given first priority when it comes to deciding upon the appropriateness of research to be undertaken (Lin, 2013). It reaches a point in time when some animals have to be released to the wild from the zoos. This is normally conducted in accordance with IUCN/SSC/Reintroduction Specialist group guidelines. Before the animals are released to the wild, they
Animal Testing Negatives of Animal Testing Outweigh Its Positives and Therefore Should Not be Allowed Many cures and treatments have been developed in the last three hundred years due to advances in medical technology. These developments are sometimes attributed partly to the fact that scientists and researchers have been able to use animals as "guinea pigs" for testing new medications or treatment methods before passing them to human volunteers. There is strong
