The Ethics of Experimentation in Scientific Research
The technical and ethical costs of experimentation on a molecular level for the creation of vaccines against COVID and other illnesses raises concerns surrounding animal and human involvement. The discussion also touches on the possibility of hacking the simulation.
Clips
Experimenting with defense mechanisms like vaccines for COVID-19 and other viruses can be both technically and ethically costly, especially when it comes to studying phenomena at a molecular level that require testing on animals or humans.
