¶ … ethical quandary revolves around research ethics. Numerous reasons may be cited to explain the significance of complying with ethical standards when conducting research. Firstly, standards support research objectives like error avoidance, knowledge, and truth.

In case of Mary, consideration is due because her choice will have huge ramifications for her, irrespective of whether they're bad or good.
1. It may suffice to possess sound conflict resolution ability. Scientists' are normally weak in the area of resolving conflicts; however, a few elementary principles can work wonders.
