Harlow's Experiments

From seeing Harlow's experiments, I think they should not be repeated and investigated further. The rhusus monkeys looked so frightened by the experiments that this is torture done to them. So, investigating into Harlow's experiments would show the scared rhusus monkeys, and this could not show how they are like humans exactly. The animal community would see this as being dangerous for the rhusus monkeys by how they are seperated by their mothers at a young age. They would want to stop these experiments so that the rhusus monkeys can live more freely as humans do. This way rhusus monkeys can get better treatment.

I agree with what silpsupha says. these experiments shouldn't be repeated. the animal community definately would be against these experiments. Hopefully the monkeys will be better treated

i agree as well. We were almost the animals because of what we were doing to them. Not only should we have treated them better in the first place . we should have been caring and thoughtful of how they were feeling. Those monkeys wouldn't be the same after what happened.we need to learn from the past. The future shouldn't have this.
