Inmates can be forced into the study as they have no one to defend their rights. Under privileged children may be forced because they do not have guardians to give consent, or the children may not understand fully what the research is about. Racial discrimination led to research been conducted only on black people. Conclusion

Considering the methods used for these studies, no one should approve of these studies. The studies violated the subject's human rights, and ethical concerns were not addressed. There was discrimination against certain people, and the researchers did not provide all the information to the subjects. The Tuskegee study was prolonged for longer than intended, and though there was a cure for syphilis, the researchers still continued with the study. These demonstrated the study was not considerate of the subjects but rather for other interests.

The Milgram study received subjects because the researchers were paying them to attend the study. This showed that the study would not have received the required number of subjects if there was no pay. The subjects who participated were also less fortunate and they needed to cash. Having to pay the subjects led to a change in the research been voluntary to employer employee. This made the researchers perform any tests they wanted though there was a likelihood of the test causing harm to the subjects.
