Harlow's research has been a staple of introductory psychology courses around the world, but the ethical issues involved don't seem to have received the same kind of attention as, perhaps, Zimbardo's work.
Torture programs all over the world and through history include studies of fear like this being done on people even. It is chilling to say the least. The twin torture experiments of the Nazis come to mind. Very stark reminder of the costs.

Thanks for reading. Yes, ironically, Harlow was trying to find an empirical basis for love.
Yikes!
