One of the mothers notices that the students are watching people and complains to mall security. The manager of the mall asks the students where they are from, then writes a letter of complaint to Dr. Taylor. Here is an excerpt:
”I am requesting that you do not engage in any more observational research at Trumbull Mall. I don’t think it is right to allow students to observe people’s behavior without getting their permission first. It is a violation of privacy and is wrong even if they don’t realize they are being watched. People come to the mall to shop, not to be watched.”

Thinking Like A Scientist
One of the most difficult parts of being a scientist is knowing how
to use information so it does not harm others. Consider these
cases:
A. A pregnant woman and her husband both have achondroplastic
dwarfism, a dominant condition that affects appearance (very short
stature, large head) but not intellect. They want genetic analysis
of the fetus; they plan to abort if the child would be of normal
height.
B. A 40-year-old woman is tested and is told that she has the BRCA1
gene. That means she has about an 80% chance of developing breast
cancer and is at high risk for ovarian and colon cancer. She does
not believe these results and wants no one to tell her mother, her
four sisters, or her three daughters, some of whom may be I the
early stages of cancer.
C. A 30-year-old mother of two daughters (no sons) is a carrier for
hemophilia. She requests in vitro fertilization (IVF) and
pre-implantation analysis so that only male zygotes without the
hemophilia-carrying X chromosome will be implanted. Female zygotes,
all healthy but half of them carriers, would be destroyed as would
the hemophiliac half of her male zygotes.
D. A couple has a child with cystic fibrosis. They want to know if
they both carry the recessive gene, in which case they will have no
more children, or if the child’s illness was the result of a
spontaneous genetic change, as my happen at conception. The test
results make it apparent to the counselor that the couple will not
have a child with cystic fibrosis, because the husband is not the
child’s biological father.
Answer the following questions in your Blog:
1. Should test results be kept confidential from other family
members who are directly affected (as in examples B and D)?
2. Should a client be given information that will lead to a
decision that the counselor believes is unethical (as in examples A
and C)?
3. What would you do? (Note: The answers to the first two questions
can/may be different from the third).
