Ethical Dilemmas in Scientific Research
The eradication of smallpox, one of the deadliest diseases in history, is a triumph of public health. However, concerns arise from the existence of virus samples, which could potentially be weaponized by rogue actors. To counter this threat, the US government funds research to improve smallpox treatments and vaccines. Since it is unethical to expose humans to this highly lethal virus, laboratories turn to our closest biological relatives as research subjects. This raises a moral dilemma: is it justified to harm these animals to protect humanity?
