Harry Harlow Experiments

No, I personally don't think Harry Harlow's experiments should be done again. They were against many moral decisions, and they didn't prove anything that was life changing. It was neat to see how similar monkeys behave to humans, but that could have been proved in a more efficient way. Harlow has ruined the lives of these monkeys for ever. He didn't think about the impact it would have on them, nor did he care. I think there are much more reasonable experiments that won't hurt a monkey's mindset or cause other abnormal behavior.
