Personally, I'd chose to trade those events for whatever scientific advancements were gained. But I think you're probably referring to things besides human subjects research, which is a different story.
- BurningFrog 10y agoWell, that shows the review boards have benefits. You can't determine if they're justified until you've also looked at their costs.
