Technology, research and ethics, HT14Seminar 2 Addressing moral problems: case example Ping Sui Jie Yang Erika Jansson Zeeshan Khaliq Marc Girons Lopez
The problem RIKEN Center for Developmental Bioloby, Kobe (Japan) Deputy director Yoshiki Sasai Researcher Haruko Obokata Research group members
Time-point for the questioning: After publication Point of view: Research group members 50-50 sure that some mistake/falsification has occurred in the study
Solution 1: Keep silence Why? - Selfishness - Afraid of conflicts with my group - Let someone else take the responsibility
Solution 1: Keep silence Who can possibly be affected by my decision? - The research center - Other groups that want to repeat the study - The journal + reviewer - The public
Solution 1: Keep silence ‘temporarily safe’, don’t have to deal with it right now. Not really solve the problem, it will come out again in the future. Not Talk about it at all. I was wrong. Other co-authors may also find it out, I will support them to redo the lab-work.
Another option??? • Tell the truth • Why? • The correct thing to do • To be honest • Do not want to regret later if someone else finds the mistake • Who can possibly be affected? • The whole group or some particular people on the project • The funders
