Human neuroscience Discussion 2Human neuroscience Discussion 2Much of what scientists
know of human neuroscience comes from the study of nonhuman animals. Many significant
advances in human health have been achieved through use of nonhuman animals in
research. Included among these are the following:The basic understanding of how
individual nerve cells operate is based on research with squid.The understanding of the
effects of the environment on brain development is based on research with rats.Mice are
often used as test animals to evaluate potential drugs to treat depression and other
disorders.Although nonhuman animal research has had led to many significant advances in
human health, ethical considerations make this type of research a heated topic of debate.
Discuss the following:Do you believe it is appropriate to make generalizations to humans
from this sort of research?Why or why not?What are the facts that support your
decision?Provide at least 2 references from scientific research.Generally speaking, why do
you believe animal research is such a focus of debate?What is your position on the use of
animal research?In what way does an ethical perspective best support your view?What
scientific facts support your position?Ground Rules for DiscussionThe study of ethics
involves consideration of conflicting moral choices and dilemmas about which reasonable
people may disagree. To keep a professional and safe discussion environment, please
adhere to the following ground rules:Respect all viewpoints, even those differing from your
own.Critique ideas, not people.Assume good intent.ORDER NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED,
PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPERSYou must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your
computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on
your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous
misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in
silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is
advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten
corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12
characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins
or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended
number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.Likewise, large type, large
margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines),
increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to
increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your
professor.The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on
2. the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white
paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to
follow your argument.
