Psychoanalysis of Ethics, Progression in Research
From a Psychoanalytical point of view, the last of the behavior
development is the Superego. This is probably the most important piece because
it keeps the world a lot safer. The Superego is the moral branch of the
personality. It uses the conscious part of the brain, instead of using the

When scientists defy moral conducts, we expect horrific consequences. It

intentioned our fictional scientists may have been, his disregard for ethical
boundaries produced not a peer-reviewed paper, but rather a new race of
zombie-like killers. In our real world however, many times we have subjected
ourselves undergoing vigorous studies that; in some points of view, seem
torturous, demeaning and unsympathetic. Although distraught thoughts may
come to the minds of the more humanitarian, the conduction of the majority of
these experiments are implemented with either the goal of advancing and further
improving the human condition, or are equated in which the outcome is logically
advantageous. (Shelly)
Development in neuroscience could guide to further advancements in
which brain imaging reveals our deepest desires and secrets. The ability to pear
inside our heads to determine when we are lying. (Trends pg.34). Raising ethical
controversy over privacy could hold back the research of this amazing new
technology for decades. In the current criminal justice system, the crimes that are
accused are the ones that may be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, as defined
by the peers of the accused. Breaking through the...
