- Were you aware of the Duke case of research fraud before viewing this video? Were you aware of the Volkswagen case?
- I was aware of the Duke case before viewing the video, as it was studied in the Bioinformatics class I took last year. I was also aware of the Volkswagen case, and have been closely following the news behind it.
- What are your initial reactions to hearing about both of these?
- My initial reaction to hearing about the Duke case was horror. The fact that the research was allowed to continue despite the number of issues that had been raised was both shocking and saddening to me. While it was deeply saddening that the ineffective treatment had potentially contributed to the deaths of some of the patients, it is also devastating that the patients were led to believe that this treatment was going to save them. The false hope given to those who were terminally ill, in many ways, is one of the most appalling parts of the entire situation.
