What are ethical theories and why are they proposed?

Ethical theories prescribe supposedly right ways for human beings to do or to be. They are proposed as guidance for human beings who have to make decisions about what to do or what to be.

Ethical concerns can restrict scientific research. The emotional and ethical response to some experiments may outweigh the need for data.

Are there similarities between milgram and rosenhan's experiment?

In terms of what they examined, no. Milgram examined submission to authority while Rosenhan studied the stickiness of psychological diagnoses.
