This is clearly unethical and I hope illegal so that it is prevented from happening. Experiments on people like this will absolutely have dramatic changes that will last their entire lives.
It's bad enough we have television shows ruining people's metabolism, likely for life, just for some ratings. But then to come from someone claiming to be doing academic research, especially in light of the history of research like this, is repugnant.
- BinaryIdiot 10y ago...what? So you're saying consenting adults who are agreeing to be given money for X amount of years is "clearly unethical"? I'm not convinced this is a good study but unethical seems to be a reach. > Experiments on people like this will absolutely have dramatic changes that will last their entire lives. What about all those focus groups and clinical trials that people partake in every single day? Are those somehow better than this case where we're giving people money and asking them some questions every so often?
- brbsix 10y agoChill out bro... What's the worst that can happen? It's not like any of the subjects are going to retreat to the fringes of society, write Basic Income manifestos, and dedicate their lives to the violent overthowal of Capitalism. Plus this is really well intentioned.
