I think to a certain extent breaking a few rules to promote scientific and medical discovery is okay. Later on in the future people will be thankful that those rules were broken in order to advance and achieve higher studies. -Allie Bradford

I think that breaking the rules to save multiple peoples life is ok. Say that you are trying to cure cancer or some other terrible disease and someone has to die in testing for them to advance into this. This means that one person has to die make a great discovery for millions of other people. I feel this is ok as long as the person has there consent to die if the test goes wrong. -Colte Ashmore

I think if it is going to save more lives than it will take, it would be ok. In the long run more will survive due to the deaths. - Emmaleigh Palmer

Sometimes it is OK to break the rules to make discovery.

In 1928, Fleming was conducting experiments with Staphylococcus bacteria when he noticed that a mold had spread to his dish that greatly hindered the growth of the bacteria. By now, it was standard practice to discard of a contaminated dish such as Alexander had. But, he decided to study it instead. He discovered that the mold was producing a substance he later named penicillin, which proved to be a powerful antibiotic. This discovery completely changed medicine and has saved countless lives.

If Fleming had simply followed the conventional practice of discarding the contaminated dish, we might not have had the life-saving benefits of penicillin.

I think in some situations it is okay to break rules. I think this because sometimes you need to break the rules to stay safe. If you are somewhere like at college and a your trying to get into a sorority and there rules are really bad. If one of theres rules was daring you to run across the highway as a rule to get into the sorority than you can break the rule and not do it to stay safe. Rule-breaking can also help you discover new things. If everyone if following the rules and doing the same thing than nothing will ever be discovered. - Lynlee Shipp

I believe that rule-breaking under certain circumstances is okay when resulting in an important scientific or medical discovery. However, under most cases I would not advise the use of unethical or illegal methods regarding any type of discovery under any level of importance; especially if the experiment and/or practice has the possibility of putting others in danger or possibly death. If the rule-breaking is supervised and done cautiously, it is possible for the practice to be endorsed, especially if the experiment and/or discovery would be of great societal benefit: Cancer, dementia, alzheimer's, etc.

I think it is sometimes okay to break the rules, if the rules keep the person from making a helpful scientific or medical discovery. For example, what if someone would be able to find the cure for cancer but the rules kept them from making that discovery? In that instance, I think it would be okay to break the rules. - Abigail

I feel like it would be ok because sometimes people would need things that are against the rules. Things that are against the rules are sometimes ok to give to people so they could get better but at the same time they wont be harmed if its ok by their doctor.

I think that rule breaking is ok in some circumstances. If the only thing standing between you and finding the cure for cancer, breaking the rules is ok. However breaking the rules when it comes to something like genetically modifying human beings without their consent is not ok. Rule breaking is necessary sometimes in order to make important discoveries. - Kate Frame

I think it is ok for people to break the rules for a scientific discovery as long as they are doing it reasonably. It can help lead to discoveries that people would have never even thought about because they were trying to follow the rules. I know rules are there for a reason, but in some cases they can be in the way of people discovering something important or possibly even life saving for some people. - Ava Spencer

Yes for someone to make a new discovery, you may have to break rules along the way. With them breaking the rules they find a new discovery that you may need.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is okay to break the rules to make a discovery. There may be boundaries you need to push to make a breakthrough. There are some rules that do not need to be broken, such as harming others, unless they agree. Rules that don't harm people aren't as big of a deal to break. It all depends on the rule that you need to break. - Mazzie Castile

# data[].attributes.body
I think it can lead kinds of discoveries if you break the rules. Because people need to try different things because you never know what could happen. But if you know that there is no harm if you break the rules I think its okay. Another reason is if everyone follows the same rules nothing is going to change and some improvements cant be made. - Daniel Dodd.

I feel like in certain instances it is ok to not necessarily break the rules, but it is fine to bend them in some cases. Although you should try to figure it out yourself first, but if you just can't get it I think it would be alright to bend the rules a little.

Breaking the rules to make a great discovery could be very useful. A lot of things were discovered from breaking the rules. If scientists discovered something in secret and broke the rules by doing it, nobody will care if they broke the rules because they discovered something big for history. -Charlie Elliott

When it comes to groundbreaking discoveries, breaking the rules is just a small price to pay. It is ok to break rules in experiments because it could lead to positive affects in the scientific world. Although not ethical, it is important to test the boundaries of what is possible and what is not. This is why rules must be broken sometimes. - Braylen Gwyn

Even though it is wrong to break the rules, if it is important and can lead to an even greater future than I'd say that yes, it can be ok to break rules for a good discovery. Take cancer for example, lets just say that somebody finds the cure, but they may have to break some health and hazard rules to find this out. In the end it can lead to saving hundreds of lives. - Morgan

I think that breaking the rules is sometimes ok. In America, genetically modifying humans is illegal. Using it correctly though could possibly help fix cancer in a human body. If you figure out what is going rogue in the body, it could possibly stop the cancer. It would be breaking the rules, but it would be to help someone. - Taylor

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, breaking the rules can lead to important discoveries. For someone to find out new things and to find out new means to do things is to break the rules. If they don't want people breaking the rules, then they aren't letting people find new things.

I feel like to make a discovery you could break the rules within reason. Like if the breaking the rule part does not harm anyone then I feel like it is ok. Though if it can harm someone then it is not ok. So it really just depends on the situation that occurs. -Bo Mitchell

# data[].attributes.body
Yes it is okay because you never know what could be the results of that experiment. You could discover something extraordinary like the cure for cancer. It could help several people even millions and you would be remembered for your work.

Sometimes breaking the rules leads to great discoveries. For instance, the unethical practices of Henrietta Lacks' cell research later contributed to essential medical breakthroughs.
