I think it was unethical because you shouldn't hurt people just for science. But, even thought it was unethical I think it needed to be done to get further along in science.

Hi! :)

Yes, I think the Little Albert experiment was unethical because you hurting people for science is wrong. It is unhuman. But, even thought it is unethical, I think it MIGHT be okay only if it was for solving some uncurable disease or something. Humans have feelings and emotions and it would be horrible to go through pain just for science!


I hope this answers your question!


Have a BEAUTIFUL day~
