Lo que nos hace humanos es una pregunta que no solo la ciencia plantea, sino todas las disciplinas de la mente, desde la filosofía hasta la religión, la sociología y la ética, e incluso las narraciones y las artes. La película "William" sobre un neandertal que vive en el mundo moderno nos obliga a hacer la misma y muchas otras preguntas. El Director del Programa de Células Madre de la UC San Diego, Alysson Muotri, reunió a un panel de expertos de todo el espectro de disciplinas para discutir esos temas en un foro animado y atractivo con el creador de la película, Tim Disney.

New experimental and big data research have generated unexpected ethical challenges for social scientists. Historically, these disciplines have been largely observational - involving the passive collection of existing information and data. More recently, social scientists have embraced experimental methods to study a wide variety of social, policy, and political questions. This experimental revolution has created a new set of ethical problems and a backlash against social science experiments. Especially challenging are the popular field experiments - experiments conducted on a massive scale, without any informed consent, often affecting larger societies or systems. Scott Desposato, professor of political science at UC San Diego, looks at these new issues, examines the perspective of subjects and societies, and discusses the way social scientists are working to build new norms of research.
