This article reports some preliminary results of a recent social experiment designed to test the senstivity of people's responses to alternative presentations of the same facts about radon risks. Ethical issues enter the experiment in two ways. First, it was found that the way risk information is presented does matter and therefore involves ethical judgements. Second, ethical issues arose in the design of the social experiment itself. Discussed here are ways in which these two concerns limited the acceptable range and character of the experiment. -Authors
