duty of care. If they do not listen and continue to work, I will not hesitate to report.

You're doing work in a prestigious neuroscience lab, studying the effects of LSD micro-dosing
on mice brains, which may have massive applications for patients with depression. As your PI
trusts you over time, they ask you to obtain the drugs for the lab. You then learn that they are
being obtained illegally from a well-known criminal.
question 1: what would you do?
question 2: what if your PI says there is no other way to get LSD and this research could
potentially save millions of lives? CORRECT ANS-1: In this situation, I would tell my PI I am
uncomfortable conducting research this way, even though there are potential benefits. I
would reason to them that both our personal and professional careers are at risk. As well, if
the news that the LSD was obtained illegally could discredit our findings and the lab could be
shut down.
