We're talking about medical ethics, which is a well developed field of research and practice. There are established procedures in the US and UK to get ethics approval for studies and those panels are not just making it up as they go along (mostly). I suppose when I say 'it is unethical' what I really mean is 'the medical community in the developed world has come to a strong consensus that it is unethical'. Even with informed consent.
