Harlow
I don't think Harlow's experiments should be repeated. The experiments helped us understand how another primates reacts to things and that helped us see the connection between them and humans (specifically toddlers). But it was really sad to see the things the baby monkey had to experience for science sake. The experiment has been done, we have video to see the reactions so there is no reason to do it again. Plus, so many people would be angry if it was, (animal rights groups).

I agree with you, it was hard for me to see everything those monkeys had to go through especially the video where they put the isolated monkey into a social environment.
I agree. It's completely unethical to raise monkeys away from their native habitat and especially without their mothers.
