1. I believe it was ethical to do the study. I think there is a limit to how far you can go for research. I think this was right up against the line but I thought it was a good study. It was their way of creating the most controlled prison environment in a obviously weird and not completely realistic sort of way. I think it was ethical as everyone chose to do the study who were involved. It's not like they picked random people. I also think it was ethical as they did background checks on the participants before they went in to make sure people did not have abuse issues and stuff such as this.
