"There was nothing wrong except for the lack of consent" is really rather missing the point... In other contexts that's the difference between acceptable behavior and a felony.
- luckylion 6y agoI don't understand the article (and most of the comments) to be about the lack of consent, but about the act itself: deliberately making people sad. In most medical studies, that's not being done. You might give someone placebos and watch what happens when you don't give them the medication you want to test, but you're not giving people cancer to see what helps best. I'm not sure consent would've made a fundamental difference to that reaction to it.
