Is it ethical to use humans for medical experiments? It is ethical to use humans for medical
experiments because the doctors could know the exact outcome of the patient. It is not ethical
to use humans for medical experiments because there a lot of risks and the human population
could go down. Many different tests are being done for medical experiments. In the story
Flowers for Algernon Charlie Gordon was extremely excited to be used in the experiment
Charlie Gordon knew that he will now become intelligent without any problems. Theyre going
to use me! Im so excited I can hardly write (Keyes 57). Concluding the first reasoning is that
Charlie Gordon thinks that he will become intelligent and stay that way. The second evidence is
explaining that Charlie Gordon has become absent minded and extremely sad that Algernon
has died. I have become absent minded and Algernon has died two days ago. If the test was
done on humans first, then Charlie would have not gotten attached to Algernon, and Charlie
wouldnt have fallen down a rapid hill. Last but certainly not least, when doctors are not
experimenting with human testing, a large amount of the human population is decreasing
because of deadly diseases have not been tested or examined they will never know if the end
results of all of that elegant science will actually do what is intended to do and to make real
human patients well again. In conclusion, doctors should use humans as experiments because
doctors could cure most diseases. Gorski, David L. Science-Based Medicine. Disqus, 2011
