Harlow's Experiments

I don't think the experiments should be repeated because we have a lot of information from them already. We were able to see how the monkeys reacted to certain situations and connected that to our own species. It showed the similarities between primates and humans. But the experiments were unethical and it was difficult to see the monkeys have to go through them. The monkeys weren't able to grow up in a normal and safe environment which isn't right. Since all of the tests were recorded I think that is a good amount of research for scientists to have and they don't need to do anymore of the same type of experiments.

I agree with this. We already have the information we need so what is the point in doing it again?
